As a followup, a bug that may cause problems in build environments like Travis CI has been discovered: if you have a version of `git` < 1.8.2 (released in early 2013), `stack build` will fail with an error like 'fatal: error in object: unshallow 05a8ba81a30b775e3aab8269642317345708bcfa' when it tries to update the package index on first startup. See https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/2602 for more details.
