Agreed, I think. I don't see how defaulting to ‘...${VCS_TYPE}-checkout’ ever makes sense or saves effort. We should be able to improve the quality of these guesses: the repository URI is about as likely to be foo://bar/<package>... as a regular tarball URI. Or we make a file-name mandatory for certain methods. *goes to look at the actual code*, T G-R
