I've just not been able to abrogate my other responsibilities long enough to break my build environment and set up a copy of HEAD and concoct a patch. ;)
I just tried to clone a copy of the base repo to see if I could be of any help, but it doesn't work for me: [ben@euler ~/haskell/upstreams/emptydir]$ git clone http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/base.git Cloning into 'base'... [ben@euler ~/haskell/upstreams/emptydir]$ ls -l total 0 I had a chat with the guys in #git , excerpts from http://colabti.org/irclogger/irclogger_log/git?date=2012-10-10#l3186 : 21:40:43 < cmn> it looks like it only supports the dumb protocol 21:41:01 < cmn> so that should get fixed, it could be that it's broken in newer git versions, because nobody sensible sets that up anymore 21:44:11 < benmachine> cmn: ah. so there's a bug but no-one notices because no-one uses it these days? 21:44:56 < cmn> benmachine: that's what I'm thinking, yeah 21:45:19 < benmachine> cmn: ok. out of interest, how did you check which protocol it was using? 21:45:29 < cmn> benmachine: wireshark 21:49:39 < benmachine> cmn: one more thing, is "the dumb protocol" literally its name, or is it just a protocol that's dumb? 21:50:04 < cmn> its full name is dumb http transport Looks like someone at darcs.haskell.org needs to change how things are set up?
