"force-local-version" for local_scheme

[ileixe]

Hi,

I wonder it's possible to introduce new entry-point forcefully generates "local_scheme".

def _format_local_with_time(version, time_format):

    if version.exact or version.node is None:
        return version.format_choice(
            "", "+d{time:{time_format}}", time_format=time_format
        )
    else:
        return version.format_choice(
            "+{node}", "+{node}.d{time:{time_format}}", time_format=time_format
        )

Currently, if version is "exact", commit hash is omitted like above. However we're using the local scheme (commit hash) no matter what environment to give more information to user so want to decouple the "exactness" with local_scheme.

So basically what I'm suggesting is to add something similar below

-def _format_local_with_time(version, time_format):
+def _format_local_with_time(version, time_format, force=False):

-    if version.exact or version.node is None:
+    if not force and (version.exact or version.node is None):
         return version.format_choice(
             "", "+d{time:{time_format}}", time_format=time_format
         )
@@ -428,6 +421,10 @@ def get_no_local_node(_):
     return ""


+def get_local_node_and_date_force(version):
+    return _format_local_with_time(version, time_format="%Y%m%d", force=True)

Is it general enough case to support it?

Thanks.

I would recommend to make this a extra package with the entrypoint
