Thanks. It does have a directory dist-install/ in it - but that's put there by the build system, so if I remove it, it'll just come back. And other libraries (like deepseq) has dist-install too but does not complain. So mysterious.
On the other hand git submodule update -recursive *did* fix it. Seems odd. I'm already saying "submodules" and I don' think any submodules have further submodules - or do they?

I found this StackOverflow page quite helpful in explaining the hows and whys: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4873980/git-diff-says-subproject-is-dirty Cheers, Hécate Le 15/05/2020 à 16:30, Hécate a écrit : Hi Simon, I usually manage to get it to disappear by using `git submodule update --recursive`. Is it a flag you've used in your previous attempts? Cheers, Hécate. Le 15/05/2020 à 16:24, Simon Peyton Jones via ghc-devs a écrit : No amount of git submodule update makes it go away. Any ideas? _______________________________________________ ghc-devs mailing list ghc-devs@haskell.org<mailto:ghc-devs@haskell.org> http://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ghc-devs
