Bug#663357: uscan: Please support scanning git repositories for tags

[Maximiliano Curia]

Tags: + patch

Hi,

I'm attaching a very basic patch that adds git support to watch files.

With this patch a watch file of the form:
version=3
git://anongit.kde.org/bomber.git tags/v([\d.]+)

Would get the version status from the tags (thanks to git ls-remote command) 
and could fetch the corresponding tar.gz (thanks to the --remote option of git 
archive, this requires that the repository has upload-archive enabled).

Both git commands act on the remote repository directly and don't need/nor use 
the local repository, if any.

Thanks,
