Valid form for `--template, -T`?

Is there a valid form for the --template, -T option? Or, has this option been removed for current and known future toolbox releases?

Issue #346 comments indicate that API --template='api' and Web --template='web' templates are not supported in Vapor 4. However what about a git repository url per the vapor toolbox built-in help?

Vapor Toolbox Help

According to the current (homebrew released) Vapor command line help, --template would be expected to still be functional with an express git repository url.

vapor --version
# toolbox 18.3.3

vapor new --help
# <name> [--template,-T] [--branch] [--output,-o] [--no-commit] 
# 
# Generates a new app.
# 
# Arguments:
#        name Name of project and folder.
# 
# Options:
#    template The URL of a Git repository to use as a template.

Case Template=Repository

The "URL of a Git repository to use as a template"

vapor new vapor_template_apiweb --template=https://github.com/VaporExamplesLab/VaporApiWebTemplate

# Cloning template...
# name: vapor_template_apiweb
# Would you like to...
# ... blah, blah ...
Error: Too many arguments: --template=https://github.com/VaporExamplesLab/VaporApiWebTemplate

Error: Too many arguments for all the following forms

Questions Restated

If the --template, -T option remains, what it the correct syntax? If yes, this would be good to add to the command line help.

If the --template, -T option remains for url specifications, then perhaps the "Would you like to..." questions do not apply and should be skipped ??

If the --template, -T option has removed, then perhaps the command line help should be updated to remove the mention of this template option???

@marc-medley vapor new vapor_template_apiweb --template https://github.com/VaporExamplesLab/VaporApiWebTemplate should work

Closing this - let me know if it's still an issue!
