    Gbp-Dch: ignore

commit 892e72b27db0056c6a9bc6046039489c7ff32625

    uscan: Prefer Dist keyword when updating d/watch to v5 (GitHub template)
    
    Before this commit, a watch file for a GitHub project was updated to:
    
        Version: 5
        Template: GitHub
        Owner: foo
        Project: bar
    
    After this commit:
    
        Version: 5
        Template: GitHub
        Dist: https://github.com/foo/bar
    
    It's surely a matter of taste, so let me argue in favor of the second
    form:
    
    * it is more concise
    * it shows the URL of the repo: one can just copy/paste it, grep for it,
      click on it, etc... It is more useful than having Owner and Project
      listed on two separate fields.

    uscan: Formatting nitpicks in Version4.pm
    
    It seems more readable to have one assignment per line, and it's how
    it's done for other templates.

commit 525012025750beb8be74b5cf35dd32776352baae
Author: Holger Levsen <holger@layer-acht.org>
