Alternative proposal: We already have "-b branch" (which was motivated by the corresponding flag of git clone). How about "-d dir"? If git clone is run with it, it simply aborts (that’s fine), and “our” tools can make use of it. So we’d have: VCS-Git: alioth.debian.org:/git/pkg-haskell/DHG_packages.git -d p/haskell-foo Greetings Joachim -- Joachim "nomeata" Breitner Debian Developer nomeata@debian.org | ICQ# 74513189 | GPG-Keyid: F0FBF51F JID: nomeata@joachim-breitner.de | http://people.debian.org/~nomeata
