well, that's because the 'sync-all' script is not clever enough to
rewrite the urls between the 'git submodule init' and the 'git submodule
update' invocations during an initial "sync-all get" operation.
Specifically, the proper way to do this (for an initial 'sync-all get';
it gets more complicated for non-initial 'sync-all get's) is:
- before invoking 'git submodule update', iterate over the entries in
"git config --get-regexp ^submodule" and
- rewrite the repo URLs (by using 'git config' again), assuming that
'http://git.haskell.org/' is the original repo-base/prefix which is
to be replaced by the current $repo_base
- proceed with 'git submodule update'
Btw, the implementation in sync-all at
https://github.com/ghc/ghc/blob/master/sync-all#L897-L912
seems a bit confusing; the "submodule init" in the "if ($command eq
"get" or $command eq "pull")" branch is probably never invoked.
