+
+    spectool: ignore query string in URL. BZ 1337544
+    
+    When constructing the target filename from the given Source or Patch URL
+    (sub retrieve), do not include the query string (if present).
+    
+    Example:
+    * Before: http://some.url/foo.tgz?arg=123 => ./foo.tgz?arg=123
+    * After:  http://some.url/foo.tgz?arg=123 => ./foo.tgz
+    
+    Regex explanation:
+    * 1st group: ([^\/]+?)
+        * Lazily matches one or more characters that are not a forward slash
+    * 2nd group: (?:\?.*)?$
+        * Matches a query string (if any) starting with a question mark,
+          followed by zero or more characters until the end of string,
+          without creating a capturing group (the leading ?:)
