I'd like to keep my cargo crates pinned to a 0.3 compatible version, but keep working on later versions to shake out rustc bugs. Can cargo grow a cargo install --ref HEAD option to override any baked in revisions?

Does cargo install git://github.com/blah/blah HEAD and adding ref: "HEAD" to packages.json not add that functionality, or am I missing something? Cargo is still terribly out-dated at the moment and is still rolling-release, so I'm afraid there's not much you can do right now.

EDIT: Oh, I see. You want to add a command line option that manually details that you want the latest HEAD. No, you can't do that yet. I think it's a good idea, but it might be better to just add versions instead.

Closing because Cargo is obsolete as of version 0.6. FTR rustpkg will be based around version control by default.
