Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.72
Severity: wishlist
Recent git versions give a warning when redirecting URLs. Salsa redirects git
to URLs ending in ".git/" and redirects browsers to the
URL not ending in ".git/" or ".git".
Accordingly, the Vcs-Git field should end in ".git" or ".git/" and the
Vcs-Browser field should not end in ".git" or ".git/".
In addition the salsa web interface prints URLs ending in ".git" rather
than URLs ending in ".git/" so the former should be preferred in any
lintian output.
I have no idea how salsa deals with repository names that end in
".git", but I guess git URLs will be something like ".../foo.git.git".
