Bug Description
When adding a Branch to Launchpad, you have to give it both a short-name, and a url. Frequently, the last portion of the URL is the branch name.
Here is a excerpt from the discussion:
jameinel:
Anyway, would it be possible for Launchpad to figure out the branch name as just the last hunk of the branch url? That is all I'm using anyway, and it seems like a reasonable default, allowing you to fill in one less field.
Andrew Bennetts:
This sounds like a good idea. If the URL field were before the name field, a small javascript snippet could easily dissect the url and fill in a likely name for you (which you could of course overwrite).
