Bug#884870: lintian: vcs-field-has-unexpected-spaces and vcswatch don't agree
Source: lintian
Version: 2.5.65
I changed webkit2gtk's Vcs-Git field from
Vcs-Git: https://anonscm.debian.org/git/pkg-webkit/webkit.git
to
Vcs-Git: https://anonscm.debian.org/git/pkg-webkit/webkit.git -b wk2/unstable
in order to satisfy
https://qa.debian.org/cgi-bin/vcswatch?package=webkit2gtk
which complained that it couldn't find the current debian/changelog in
HEAD. (Maybe it's time to change HEAD, but this bug is also a problem
for experimental and Stable Update branches.)
Now, I think (lintian's website is recovering from a typo) that this
now causes lintian to emit vcs-field-has-unexpected-spaces
I think the " -b BRANCHNAME" suffix should be considered valid syntax
for Vcs-Git.
Thanks,
Jeremy Bicha
