So travis does a recursive clone by default? So that we can't even easily inject

If I get the docs right, you should be able to disable that and manually clone the submodules:
http://docs.travis-ci.com/user/build-configuration/#Git-Submodules
thanks, I’ll try that.
Maybe it is finally time to re-think the directory layout on git.haskell.org to not use / and get rid of this problem for once and all. (Maybe with symlinks on git.haskell.org the old URLs can just continue to work.)
TBH, I don't like the idea of symlinks, as they would break the assumption in the server-side scripting that a repo is only accessible via a single path, which I'm sure would cause all sorts of subtle issues and confusing situations when you forget about that.
And has a complete change or the URLs ever been considered? Now that people shouldn’t have to use ./sync-all any more, but can use standard tools to check out the repository, being able to clone from github directly and without such patching of paths might be desirable. (It wouldn’t help with cloning from any other fork, though. Seems to be an unavoidable issue with submodules.)
