Yes, that'll follow once the method is accepted as proposed, docs aren't
easy to modify if there's substantial change.

True, DOWNLOAD_GIT also exceeds the 80 column "standard", and so do
other parts so don't blame me :)
I also do on SOURCE_CHECK_CVS but that's hardly splittable in a
coherent/useful way, and cvs is very picky with parameter order to
rephrase it.
