+I notice that you're using Setup configure. It turns out that for some
+reason, Setup configure's dependency resolution fails to find available
+solutions, where cabal configure will easly succeed without using much
+memory. There's a bug filed about this now:
+<https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/2777>
+
+So, use cabal configure, or downloading the cabal.config from stackage will
+probably prevent this blowup by pinning all the package versions to
+particular versions.
+
+I don't think this can be fixed in git-annex, really. So will close this as
+forwarded to the above cabal bug.
