Hi, I don't know perl at all, but looking through the sources, I found that in Devscripts/Uscan/Downloader.pm, I think there's a function 'download' line 82 (the name 'sub' is probably for subroutine) :
- the start of the function is for http and ftp modes, until line 133 where I think it's for git mode (the comment explains the last 'else', I suppose) ; - in line 141, a gitrepo_dir variable gets assigned the name of the future repository ; - in line 145, I have no clue why there's a check on the mode being 'svn' : it's definitely not logical to have it there! - in lines 150-154, a tarball is made (no need for a checkout, it seems) ; - in lines 155-168, a clone is made under various options, and lines 169-176, a tarball is made ; - in lines 178-190, both previous blocks converge : the tarball is compressed. and.... we get out of download, leaving the checkout in place -- and I think that's where some deletion should be added. I'll probably be able to learn enough perl to propose a patch tomorrow; it looks like a one-liner. Cheers, JP
