+The Haskell Platform installer for OSX uses GHC 7.0.4, which doesn't seem able to support the current version of git-annex.
+
+Cabal throws a very cryptic error about not being able to use the proper base package.
+
+I was able to install it by
+
+1. cloning the repo
+2. merging the ghc7.0 branch
+3. resolving merge conflicts in git-annex.cabal
+4. cabal install git-annex.cabal
+
+(Note I also tried this with homebrew and had similar results)
