We could create a branch for 7.8, but I don't know which commit to branch of. If someone can figure out which cabal 7.8 shipped with we can add the branch.

I noticed that the Cabal package doesn’t have a branch for ghc-7.8:

  http://git.haskell.org/packages/Cabal.git

Is that intended? Maybe as a result the instructions at

  https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/GettingTheSources

to check out a branch from the *GitHub mirror repos* doesn’t work either. It fails with

== running git submodule update
Cloning into 'libraries/Cabal'...
fatal: remote error:
