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:

Perhaps someone has already fixed it, but it seems to be working for me. $ git clone http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/base.git Cloning into 'base'... $ ls base/ aclocal.m4 base.cabal codepages config.sub Control Debug Foreign.hs include LICENSE NHC Prelude.hs Setup.hs tests Unsafe base.buildinfo.in cbits config.guess configure.ac Data Foreign GHC install-sh Makefile.nhc98 Numeric.hs prologue.txt System Text Might it also just be that your aren't getting a default branch checked out. Is there a '.git' subdirectory? Is there a bunch files under '.git/objects'? What do you get if you switch into the directory and run 'git branch -r'? $ cd base $ git branch -r origin/HEAD -> origin/master origin/encoding origin/ghc-7.2 origin/ghc-7.4 origin/ghc-7.6 origin/imp-param-class origin/master origin/monad-comp origin/new-typeable Cheers! -Tyson
