Does anyone have a good way to change repositories? A common example for me
is, Sundials is in JuliaDiffEq, so I fork it to my Github account for an
extended PR, but to work on it I need to remove my current Sundials install
and clone from my own repository. However, METADATA does not like this at
all:
julia> Pkg.rm("Sundials") # Remove the JuliaDiffEq/Sundials version
WARNING: unknown DataFrames commit 84523937, metadata may be ahead of
package cache
INFO: No packages to install, update or remove
INFO: Package database updated
julia> Pkg.clone("https://github.com/ChrisRackauckas/Sundials.jl.git";) #
Install from my Github

In the past I would just delete METADATA and let it re-create itself, and
that will fix it, but then you have to re-install packages which can be a
mess. Since this is becoming much more common for me, I need a better way
to handle this. Does anyone have a better workflow?
