relates to:

  • SR-2261 Improve the error message that's shown when trying to access a package by path

Issue Description:

Use case:
I want to create a simple module on my PC and specify it as a dependency.

let package = Package(
    name: "Pa",
    dependencies: [
        .Package( url: "../LibADep")
    ]
)

Now to make it work i need to create a .git and add a version.
this makes the process of creating new Packages more complex and hard.

We agree, and intend to make this less tedious.

But in the interest of a healthy packaging ecosystem, any package that is remote will require versions still.

Yeah, this would make development significantly easier if you're working on a library-oriented architecture. I would love to see this as soon as possible.

Sorry, I'll try to do this sooner. I have been waiting on myself because I have been rethinking Package.swift but I can get something in there quicker than that.

And yes, we really would want this, since it's a very natural thing to want to do, especially during bring-up.

We decided we won't do this, the new branch feature will help during bring up.
