importing using ssh with version key specified leads to ValueError

Invocation of command 'import' on client 'git' failed: ValueError: need more than 1 value to unpack (/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/vcstool/clients/git.py:477)

Line in question is hash_, ref = line.split(None, 1)

public repos imported using https and version seem to import correctly, but importing repos with ssh and version is leading me to the error. Importing repos with ssh and no version seems to work correctly.

vcs version: 0.2.10 python version: 2.7.12

The fix works!

In our case, each line of the banner does not start with ‘#’, and looks like what I posted above, with literally a line of ----------------- on top and below of a lot of text describing security and privacy agreements, which also means for our case, the statement to catch ‘#’ does nothing, but the problem is still solved by the try except. (I can vcs import even when I delete the lines to catch if it starts with ‘#’)

I believe in general, these banners can be whatever the system administrators want them to be, so I’m not sure if there is a clear pattern to distinguish them.

Thanks for helping debug this and checking the patch. This will be addressed in the upcoming patch release.
