"local git dep" was a mistake, I meant "git dep", which can be used in a way that approximates Go's import system if you use versioned tags.

(The "local" comes from it being in-house but that's confusing)

Ah, that's cool to hear. Which features of cargo versioning am I missing out on then?

Actual semver based version resolution.

And yes, this _can_ be added with some ad hoc scheme that requires you to use a certain kind of git tag, but that's not what people are asking for.
