[OE-core] does "devtool add" no longer calculate the recipe name?

  hoping it's not something silly i did but, recently, i used devtool
add to create a recipe for mod_auth_tkt from the github repo. i didn't
specify the recipe name, just used:

  $ devtool add https://github.com/gavincarr/mod_auth_tkt.git

which seemed to work fine in that it figured out that the recipe name
would be mod-auth-tkt and created the directories by that name.

  i just did it again, and now the name is left as '%{name}',
suggesting that devtool is no longer determining what the recipe name
should be.

  if i specify the recipe name explicitly:

$ devtool add mod-auth-tkt https://github.com/gavincarr/mod_auth_tkt.git

then it works fine. but i'm sure i previously didn't need to do
that. has the behaviour of devtool changed in that respect?
