RFE: git-import-dsc should support http-links

[Rolf Leggewie]

Hi,

merry Christmas everyone.  I hope this is the right place for this, I 
looked around and it seemed to me it was, so here it goes.

It would be nice if the following just worked:

"git-import-dsc 
http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/gnucash/gnucash_2.2.6-2.dsc"

Regards

Rolf


PS: How about some kind of official bug tracker for git?

Sorry, I have never heard of git-import-dsc and had to google for it, only
to find that it is one [*1*] of a set [*2*] of debian local tools somebody
I've never heard of (Cc'ed) on this list has written.

Even if there were such a thing, I do not think this report belongs to it.
I would imagine a better place would be here:

    http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?package=git-buildpackage

dget http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/gnucash/gnucash_2.2.6-2.dsc
git-import-dsc gnucash_2.2.6-2.dsc

is what I'm using but having this in git-import-dsc itself is fine by me
if someone sends a patch.

The Debian BTS (bugs.debian.org) is the official bugtracker for
git-buildpackage.
