Correct. I'm suggesting "fail" for the round-tripping - for "git ubuntu
build-source" to "unescape" the ..git. Or if we don't agree, then I
think there are only three reasonable choices: (fail, discard,
unescape).
I'm suggesting:
1. Interactive use: fail.
2. Non-interactive use ("batch mode", eg. -B like ssh): unescape.

Agreed - if it doesn't do that already.

Agreed.

Agreed.
