Hi Swift community

> * What is your evaluation of the proposal?
The proposal looks good and it solves the addressed problems. Resolving 
dependency graph is not a trivial problem and I like how this proposal tackles 
1 problem at the time.

Yes it does. With the "Version Pinning" it would be very convenient to share 
that information with others

Yes it does.

Some other dependency managers choose to generate pin files by default. I feel 
it's a correct choice to make "Pin file" optional since SwiftPM requires a 
versioning tag for a dependency (which is option in others dependency managers 
I've used)

I tried to study more about dependency pinning and locking, how they are 
implemented tin other dependency manager and what impact they have.

Additional notes:
When I run swift package update on unpinned package, would it be possible to 
roll back to previously used dependencies?

Use case: Let's say I have a package with a dependency A
.Package(url: "https://A.git";, versions: Version(1,0,0)..<Version(2,0,0)),

At first fetch I get A dependency with v1.0. Then I run `swift package update` 
and  A gets updated to 1.1 
The package is not pinned. If that dependency update break my package is there 
an easy way for me to roll back?
