Well, first of all, the Git-VCS field is just a way to communicate where the sources are, so the least we can do is to define and use a suitable format for a "subdirectory" field. It is then up to the various tools (debcheckout, VCS watch) to make use of it. E.g. debcheckout could simply tell the user to run "cd .../haskell-foo" afterwards. Concrete proposal: VCS-Git: alioth.debian.org:/git/pkg-haskell/DHG_packages.git#p/haskell-foo Where the # separates the subpath from the uri. This way, you can actually paste the whole URL after "git clone", as # starts a bash comment, although that’s a minor point.
