When installing from git and refering to a commit hash, pip tries to find branch or tag of a name equal to the hash string.
See original GitHub issue- Pip version: 9.0.1
- Python version: python3.6
- Operating system: Ubuntu 16.10
Description:
When pip installs a package using a specific git commit, a warning appears which suggests that pip tries to first find a branch or a tag which are equal to the hash string.
The expected behaviour would be to first try a commit hash and only then search for a branch or a tag equal to the provided string. Alternatively, three additional notations will be added to refer only to commit hashes, notation for branches and notation for tags, replacing the old too general notation.
What I’ve run:
$ pipsi install git+https://github.com/kennethreitz/em.git@6db2302d4ee903dc2c68bced7f41f5a590b96f7f
[…]

FYI, I just posted PR #4674 (WIP) to address this issue. Note, however, that I’m probably going to break it into smaller PR’s since it simplifies / fixes some other issues I noticed in the course of working on it.
Hi @timabbott!
There’s no ETA for the next version of pip, it’s being tracked in the 10.0 milestone. 😃
