I see that {{{%USERPROFILE%\.gitconfig}}} and {{{$HOME/.gitconfig}}} are the same file location. In any case, when I was unable to repeat the recursive clone, I tried every git client I have installed and all failed. Previously, one client, I can't remember which, had succeeded. I did have to run CHKDSK to repair the drive on which I was compiling and testing ghc. However, this is {{{E:}}}, not the {{{C:}}} system drive with git's global config. I don't see how this could explain losing the rewrite rule. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12859#comment:7 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
