Andrew Grieve commented on CB-4622:
-----------------------------------
Note that there is a pull request in CB-4715 that does some of what we want
here. It uses a different URL scheme though.
> Allow git URLs to contain tags / hashes
> ---------------------------------------
>
> Key: CB-4622
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-4622
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Plugman
> Reporter: Andrew Grieve
> Assignee: Mark Koudritsky

> plugman.fetch allows you to pass in a git ref to checkout after fetching.
> It's not currently exposed by the command-line though (only exposed through
> CLI)
> Instead of having this as a separate argument to the fetch function, we
> should build it into the URL.
> NPM (refer to https://npmjs.org/doc/install.html): uses
> <protocol>://[<user>@]<hostname><separator><path>[#<commit-ish>]
> We also need to specify a sub-directory, so let's use:
> <protocol>://[<user>@]<hostname><separator><path>[#<commit-ish>][:subdir]
> subdir does *not* start with a /.
> Our 3.0 instruction could then look like:
> "Install via plugman install http://.../cordova-plugin-geolocation.git#stable";
> Note that we'll also need to update <dependency> tag handling to allow this
> format of URIs (might just be a docs update)
