Bug#702751: syntax/debcontrol: does not recognise branch names in Vcs-Git

Package: vim
Version: 2:7.3.547-7
Severity: minor

Debian policy 3.9.4 specifies the Vcs-Git field:

http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html#s-f-VCS-fields

    In the case of Git, the value consists of a URL, optionally followed
    by the word -b and the name of a branch in the indicated repository,
    following the syntax of the git clone command. If no branch is
    specified, the packaging should be on the default branch.

Vim currently highlights this in red, as it thinks only a URL is
permitted.

Cheers,
Dominic.
