You can make it work by quoting the url i.e.
    wget
"https://git.opensvc.com/?p=multipath-tools/.git;a=snapshot;h=refs/tags/0.7.6;sf=tgz"

The only problem with that is that the resulting filename is:

index.html\?p\=multipath-tools%2F.git\;a\=snapshot\;h\=refs%2Ftags%2F0.7.6\;sf\=tgz

That could be renamed after download or we could use wget's -O option to
rename it during download, although I can't quickly see how to
incorporate that into a .info file.
