Yes. By the nature of svn, the Vcs-Svn URI always unambiguously refers to a
single branch ("trunk" is a branch). It's *only* the Vcs-Git usage is
broken.

Policy is for documenting what *SHOULD* be done. It doesn't matter if it's
10 or 1000 packages that are using Vcs-Git today; if the syntax is broken,
it shouldn't go in policy.
