Are you by any chance on a non-'master' branch of GHC? This happened to me when I ran `./sync-all pull` when on a local branch. There may be a simpler fix, but this is what worked for me: 1. `git checkout master` 2. `./sync-all pull` 3. `git checkout local_branch` 4. `git rebase master` The goal is to run `./sync-all pull` on the master branch and then to rebase your local branch against it. This should update the submodule metadata in your local branch. On Thu, May 9, 2013 at 8:31 AM, Simon Peyton-Jones <simonpj@microsoft.com>wrote:
