A ghc-7.8 branch is not really needed, as Cabal is registered as
submodule in ghc.git's ghc-7.8
Thanks, Herbert.
I eventually noticed that it the Cabal repo is a submodule, but I wasn’t aware
of the Git’s support to rewrite URLs.
To answer your questions: cloning from GitHub is useful as I can fork the repos
on GitHub. At haskell.org, I need to use branches, which I don’t like.

I noticed that the Cabal package doesn’t have a branch for ghc-7.8:
http://git.haskell.org/packages/Cabal.git
Is that intended? Maybe as a result the instructions at
https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/GettingTheSources
to check out a branch from the *GitHub mirror repos*
We could create a branch for 7.8, but I don't know which commit to branch
of. If someone can figure out which cabal 7.8 shipped with we can add the
branch.
