Neither humans nor tools should have to guess which is the correct branch in a git repository corresponding to the packaging, when we have ways to specify this unambiguously. You can point master at the correct branch for the packaging, or if you prefer, you can add '-b foo' to your Vcs-Git field, as documented in Policy. The wording of the message on the tracker may be suboptimal, but I do think it's reasonable to ask that 'debcheckout' be given sufficient information to DTRT. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
