Bug Description

If lp:<project> works for both git and bzr, then creating a source build recipe against the git branch doesn't work. Instead, it is interpreted as a bzr-based recipe, the "# git-build-recipe..." header is replaced with a "# bzr-builder..." header, and the "Base source" link on the recipe page points to the bzr branch instead.

Workaround: from https://code.launchpad.net/<project>/+configure-code, empty the Branch box from Bazaar settings -> Link to a Bazaar branch already on Launchpad, then delete and recreate the recipe. This stops lp:<project> working from bzr, and then the recipe creation finds the git branch instead.

I too am affected by this, and I worked around it by specifying the full path every time I edited the recipe, e.g. lp:~ts.sch.gr/sch-scripts/+git/sch-scripts instead of lp:sch-scripts.

The workaround that Robie mentioned is better though, doing so now. :)
