Re: Strange library git glitch

Hey Simon, This is nicely explained by Ryan in the message for the latest commit to exceptions: Add dist-boot to .gitignore This is generated by GHC when building `exceptions` now that it has been made a stage-0 boot library (as of commitghc/ghc@3027241 https://github.com/ghc/ghc/commit/30272412fa437ab8e7a8035db94a278e10513413). https://github.com/ekmett/exceptions/commit/23c0b8a50d7592af37ca09beeec16b93...

Thanks. It does have a directory dist-install/ in it – but that’s put there by the build system, so if I remove it, it’ll just come back. And other libraries (like deepseq) has dist-install too but does not complain. So mysterious.

On the other hand git submodule update –recursive **did** fix it. Seems odd. I’m already saying “submodules” and I don’ think any submodules have further submodules – or do they?

My bad, it seems like this is another issue.

I found this StackOverflow page quite helpful in explaining the hows and whys:

Hi Simon,

I usually manage to get it to disappear by using `git submodule update --recursive`. Is it a flag you've used in your previous attempts?

Cheers,

Hécate.

No amount of git submodule update makes it go away. Any ideas?
