I want to use a specific branch version if a package. I specified the

But it seems that dub requires a ZIP file that can be downloaded from
code.dlang.org, which of course fails because the branch is only
available on github.
Fetching rtree ~fix-#3 (getting selected version)...
Downloading https://code.dlang.org/packages/rtree/~fix-#3.zip failed
with 404 (Not Found).
How am I supposed to switch to a branch version of a package to try a
bug-fix version for example?
git clone that branch to a local repository.
dub add-local . in that repository. It will say something like "adding
v1.0.1+commit..." then you mark your project as requiring ~> v1.0.1, and
it will pick your local repository.
When you are done, make sure to dub remove-local that repository so it
stops trying to grab your local copy.
