Besides downloading a tarball, can I checkout it using git?
I tried using sync-all as described on wiki [1] to checkout it:
./sync-all checkout ghc-7.10
but it seems it doesn't work, there are error message like: error: pathspec 'ghc-7.10' did not match any file(s) known to git.
Rather follow https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/GettingTheSources#Gettingabra... and/or https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/WorkingConventions/Git/Submodules i.e. git clone -b ghc-7.10 --recursive git://git.haskell.org/ghc.git or (if you have already a GHC 7.9.x tree cloned out), use git checkout ghc-7.10 && git submodule update --init to switch to the ghc-7.10 branch (and update the submodules) HTH, hvr
