I'm confused about how local package development is supposed to work with `raco pkg install --clone`. This is turning into a deterrent to diagnosing & fixing bugs, and an encouragement to post issues so others can fix them.
In the dark ages, one would a) fork the main Racket repo on GitHub, b) work on a clone of that fork locally, and occasionally c) make pull requests, or d) update the fork from the upstream master. (A process well documented by Greg Hendershott [1]) I've read the new documentation about clone workflow. [2] And when I do this: raco pkg install --clone typed-racket It works as advertised. But I end up with a clone of the main typed-racket repo. Which is not what I want, because I'm not a core committer. Right? So I fork it on Github to http://github.com/mbutterick/typed-racket. But when I try to use this fork as my <git-pkg-source>: raco pkg install --clone typed-racket https://github.com/mbutterick/typed-racket ... it doesn't work. I get a ton of build errors. Scrutiny reveals that the default URL for `raco install --clone ...` looks more like this: git://github.com/racket/typed-racket/?path=typed-racket So I change my URL accordingly: raco pkg install --clone typed-racket git://github.com/mbutterick/typed-racket/?path-typed-racket But it still doesn't work. So either I'm overlooking something obvious in the syntax, or something subtle in how the model has changed.
