Semver strings allows stuff like "version 2.5.x, but below 2.5.6". Then cargo calculates the best solution for satisfying all dependency specifications from all packages using a single version (if possible).
Specifying a version in addition to the git branch doesn't help there at all, because you still have to do it manually then.
Yes. That is in part why I mentioned that it's not a real alternative, and mentioned
cargo-vendoras a possible basis for a less manual serviceable solution.Serviceable, but not necessarily good still. Anti-
crates.ioextremists would still be better off using an alternative crates registry*.* That's something that already exists btw. True extremists don't have to wait for the HN leak-promised Good Stuff.
