Subject: Specifying default checkout branch in url
Message-ID: <200812111221.36561.Resul-Cetin@gmx.net>

Hi,
I have the problem that I want to checkout a specific branch in a git-clone 
run. Someone at the debian-mentors mailing list[1] has suggested to use a url 
like git://git.myserver.org/project.git#branchname to checkout a branch with 
the name branchname by default. But this doesn't seem to work. Is there 
already another way to encode this in the url?
More information why I cannot change HEAD of the repository can be found in a 
bug report against debcheckout[2].

Regards,
	Resul
