My goodness am I clumsy sometimes :(
It's actually:
$ git clone -b ghc-7.8 https://git.haskell.org/ghc ghc-7.8
$ cd ghc-7.8
$ ./sync-all get -b ghc-7.8
I messed up the -b argument. Again. :(
As a rule, sync-all for 'get' will take 'git' arguments, so the 'get
-b' translates to 'git clone -b ghc-7.8 ...'
Also, yes, there are already fingerprints. See the source code here:
https://github.com/nomeata/ghc-complete/tree/ghc-7.8 - Note
specifically it is on the 7.8 branch. Also see:
https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/GettingTheSources#Trackingthefullrepositorystate
to use the fingerprint utility.
Urgh. Sorry again!

Subject: Re: haddock issue building ghc-7.8 from git
Oh bother:
$ ./sync-all -b ghc-7.8
Should be:
./sync-all -b ghc-7.8 get
of course.
ok, that makes a lot of sense. (i was wondering about demanding version
709... :-)
now i get this:
[...]
~/src/ghc-7.8$ ./sync-all -b ghc-7.8 get
Unrecognised flag: -b at ./sync-all line 850.
== Checking for old haddock repo
== Checking for old binary repo
== Checking for old mtl repo
== Checking for old Cabal repo
== Checking for old time from tarball
ATTENTION!
You have an old time package in your GHC tree!
Please remove it (e.g. rm -r libraries/time), and then run
./sync-all get to get the new repository.
== Checking for obsolete Git repo URL
~/src/ghc-7.8$ rm -rf libraries/time/
~/src/ghc-7.8$ ./sync-all -b ghc-7.8 get
Unrecognised flag: -b at ./sync-all line 850.

~/src/ghc-7.8$ perl boot
Error: libffi-tarballs/LICENSE doesn't exist.
[...]
i also tried to pull with -b ghc-7.8, but sync-all doesn't do anything
in either case.
./sync-all get pull master (which i don't want, appearently).
'./sync-all checkout ghc-7.8' cannot find branch 7.8 on several repos.
(how easy would it be to implement exact version pinning in sync-all?
could i do it in a day or two? would there be any drawbacks from
doing this?)
cheers,
matthias

You need to say:
$ git clone -b ghc-7.8 https://git.haskell.org/ghc ghc-7.8
$ cd ghc-7.8
$ ./sync-all -b ghc-7.8
That should do the trick and get you a clean, working repository
(sync-all is fiddly with checkout at the moment, if I remember
correctly).

Hi,
When building from git (branch ghc-7.8 as of today), I run into a
haddock issue because __GLASGOW_HASKELL__ appearently is not 709 on my
system. Not sure whether this is a bug, and if it should go to
trac/haddock or trac/ghc, so I decided to post it here.
My fix is easy enough (even though I ran into other problems later,
so I don't really know how well it works):

The master branch of Haddock has that test for a reason: anyone working
on Haddock will be doing so using GHC HEAD which is at 7.9. Haddock has
a separate branch (named ghc-7.8) which is the candidate that will go
into 7.8.
If you're building GHC 7.8, you should be on that branch for Haddock and
all the other libraries. IIRC you can pass some arguments to the
sync-all script which will do all the switching for you but I forgot
what it was. I'm sure someone else can chime in.
