dependency_links don't work with `dev`

See original GitHub issue

Description To install a dependency from a git repo, we write git+https://git.repo/addr.git#egg=projectName

It doesn’t work - there is the code disallowing installation if no version was specified.

Specifying

git+https://git.repo/addr.git#egg=projectName-dev

also doesn;t work, because there is the code excluding so called legacy versions.

So how to write a gite repo in dependencies in the way making pip grab its default branch and install it?

I’m afraid we’ll have to disagree on that. The approach suggested by @pradyunsg is the normal, documented way of doing this in pip.

Specifying a dependency in your project that is “whatever happens to be in git at the time we do a build” with no version to ensure at least a minimal level of reproducibility simply isn’t a supported workflow. If your dependencies aren’t yet stable enough to be versioned, it seems that you’re probably not at a point where you should be baking them into your project metadata.
