Well, we can overload the URL for that e.g. use

 git:http://
 svn:http://

instead of just "http://"; in the URL. Just like the "view-source:" in
Gecko browsers. Or it can be a separate field in the watch file, e.g.

version=4
URL ftp://ftp.avm.de/tools/capi4hylafax.linux/capi4hylafax-(.*)\.tar\.gz    
debian  uupdate

and

version=4
SVN http://svn.avm.de/capihylyafax/tags/release-(.*) debian  uupdate
