Something else must be going on as this is indeed supported. Here is the code in question: # git uri followed by optional " -b " + branchname: git => sub { return shift =~ /^(.+?)(?:\s+-b\s+(\S*))?$/;}, … and I've even just committed a (passing) test for this: https://anonscm.debian.org/git/lintian/lintian.git/commit/?id=8e1ba53fa85469ab4f2e67e7514b3a800c0a6004 :) Best wishes, -- ,''`. : :' : Chris Lamb `. `'` la...@debian.org / chris-lamb.co.uk `-
