I simply have no idea how to write a watch file with a git URL. uscan reports:

uscan warning: Unknown protocol in debian/watch, skipping:
  git://public.kitware.com

I know a watch file is really helpful, but I am totally clueless on
even how to start writing one.

I do have pretty good relation with upstream. David C. always
responded in a timely manner when preparing the debian package of
mummy+ActiViz.NET.

Ok. Will ask on debian-devel.
