Hello Xiyue, Thank you for the bug report and for testing uscan's gitmodules option.

I'm trying to use gitmodules in uscan which was introduced since 2.25.11[1], but it doesn't checkout the submodule when running uscan.

I have updated debian/watch to use submodule following the uscan manpage, which contains the following contents: ,---- | version=4 | opts="mode=git, gitmode=shallow, gitmodules, gitexport=all" \ | https://github.com/karthink/gptel \ | (?:.*?/)?@ANY_VERSION@ debian uupdate `---- (I have created a branch to demonstrate this issue, and you can find the debian/watch file at [2].)
Your regex is failing because of the 'optional' question mark after the non-capturing group.
You'll probably find it easier to explicitly use 'refs/tags' as per the man page:
refs/tags/v@ANY_VERSION@ debian uupdate Hope that helps. Hugh
