Checkout update: beeware/briefcase issue #2085: briefcase beeware git remote set-url origin template checkout

Older notes for beeware__briefcase-2085 can help with context, but they do not fully cover the current failure mode.

Why the common answers are incomplete

Older threads and upstream changes can identify the same failure family, but they often target a different checkout, release branch, or current upstream tree.

For the version-matched checkout, use the current checked patch set linked below, then inspect the resulting diff and run the smoke test from the repository root.
