Launchpad WADL's "branches" section with method getByUrls doesn't have a return type

[Manish Sinha (मनीष सिन्हा)]

I was working on Launchpad's WADL file and hit against a small problem.
In the branches section
https://edge.launchpad.net/+apidoc/1.0.html#branches

there is a method named "getByUrls" which does not have a return type specified. The return type is not available even in WADL file. The WADL section for it is http://pastebin.com/kqZtj9zW

I was trying to generate the C# code for this section and ended up with

public void branches_getByUrls(string urls)

I know it will return back a list of branch , but that should be present in the WADL file so that anyone doesn't need to hand edit the WADL file each and every time.

From jml:

> This is because we actually want it to specify a return type of "dict that maps urls to IBranch or None".

Therefore, this is dependent on bug 481090 .

Triaging as low because we can't act on this until bug 481090 is addressed.
