request: Support Dart 3.9.0 Versions in Git dependencies

[FritzMatthaeus]

Is there an existing feature request for this?

Command

No response

Description

With Dart 3.9.0 we can now use semantic versioning on Git dependencies:

dependencies:
  foo:
    git: 
      url: https://github.com/myFoo/foo
      tag_pattern: my-tag-pattern-v{{version}}
    version: ^1.0.0

Currently melos version is failing to upgrade internal dependencies in the mono-repo when one package has a new version. In this example if Foo is updated to 1.1.0, the implementing package will not be updated to version: ^1.1.0

Reasoning

It is really great for private mono-repos that Dart is now supporting versioning via Git as this gives a great alternative to hosting a private pub. Implementing this feature in melos would benefit all private monorepos that use this new versioning

Interesting, is this supported in pubspec_parse?

@spydon: I am not sure if this question is adressed to me 😆 The feature has been implement in Dart in 3.9.0, see here

[spydon]

@FritzMatthaeus yeah, because it has to be supported in that package before we can use it, so we'll have to open an issue there first.

@FritzMatthaeus but are we allowed to publish packages with a tagged git dependency?

@xsahil03x: As i stated, we use melos in a context of private repositories. I think in a published package on pub.dev one should not use git dependencies in general.
