Description Remotes can not have spaces after the second line

[lucacerone]

I am not sure whether this is actually an R (v3.2.3) issue or a devtools ( v 1.10.0.9000) issue,
so I apologize now if it is not relevant.

If in my DESCRIPTION file I have something like:

Depends:
 R (>= 3.2.3)
Imports:
 devtools (>= 1.10.0)
Remotes:
 hadley/ggplot2

then everything works fine.

However if I change DESCRIPTION to be (note: I have now two github remotes)

Depends:
 R (>= 3.2.3)
Imports:
 devtools (>= 1.10.0)
Remotes: 
  hadley/ggplot2
  hadley/memoise

then install() fails with error:

Downloading GitHub repo hadley/ggplot2
hadley@master
from URL https://api.github.com/repos/hadley/ggplot2
hadley/zipball/master
Error in curl::curl_fetch_memory(url, handle = handle) : 
  URL using bad/illegal format or missing URL

I have experienced similar issues using git:: url:: and so on, although now I am not able to reproduce the issue with them.

Remotes: works the same as Imports: etc, you need commas in between each entry.
