Bug#920314: lintian: vcs-field-has-unexpected-spaces has false positives
Source: lintian
Version: 2.5.123
I think all of these are false positives except for rust-num-cpus.
https://lintian.debian.org/tags/vcs-field-has-unexpected-spaces.html
In particular, -b or --branch should be allowed for Vcs-Git (but not
Vcs-Browser). One usecase is tot have a separate branch for each
Debian series.
Because you can then use
git clone https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/atk.git -B debian/jessie
It looks like hg works the same way.
Thanks,
Jeremy Bicha
