Comment (by potato44):

 I'm only guessing here, but the problem with github might be from not
 doing some configuration mentioned on the
 [https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Newcomers newcomers] wiki page

 {{{
 # needed only once, URL rewrite rule is persisted in ${HOME}/.gitconfig
 git config --global url."git://github.com/ghc/packages-".insteadOf
 git://github.com/ghc/packages/
 # (if you already cloned using ssh, you'll need this rule instead to make
 submodules work:)
 # git config --global url."git at github.com:ghc/packages-".insteadOf
 git at github.com:ghc/packages/
 }}}
