Problems with .rosinstall when calling wstool merge

edit

Using Linux 14.04, ROS Indigo.

I am familiar with wstool. Just expanded my repository to better organize code: https://www.github.com/birlrobotics

Trying to do the traditional steps:

• wstool init
• wstool merge [address]
• wstool update

Now, when I try westool merge with the following file: wstool merge https://github.com/birlrobotics/birl_...

I get the following error:

ERROR in config: Invalid multiproject yaml format in in "<file>", line 7, column 19

A few points here:

• It does not seem that the line 7, column 19 points to anything I can figure out.
• I have tried going over this file multiple times trying to figure out if there are any small mistakes and I can't find anything.
• If I just copy the contents of the file into a local birl_baxter.rosinstall file and then call wstool update IT WORKS. The output below is obtained with wstool info if I copy the contents manually:

Does anyone have an insight into this?
