I hate to have to say "RTFM" about this so often, but see
http://docs.julialang.org/en/release-0.4/manual/strings/#version-number-literals.
The trailing dash means including prereleases of the given version.
(Considering how unintuitive this is we should probably transition to
something clearer when we redesign Pkg.) The first number given is an
inclusive lower bound, and if a second number is given then it's an
exclusive upper bound.
I see a few packages applying upper bounds to ForwardDiff, and a few to
MathProgBase and ReverseDiffSparse. I may have missed something (were these
taken from METADATA or the package directory? It should be the former,
sorry if I didn't say as much - METADATA can be changed after-the-fact but
tagged package content can't) but those don't look like they would conflict.
