In this case, `rustpkg` will check that the repository `github.com/mozilla/rust` has a tag named `0.3`, In this case, `rustpkg` will check that the repository `github.com/mozilla/rust` has a tag named `0.3`,
and report an error otherwise. and report an error otherwise.
A package ID can also specify a particular revision of a repository, like:
`github.com/mozilla/rust#release-0.7`.
When the refspec (portion of the package ID after the `#`) can't be parsed as a decimal number,
rustpkg passes the refspec along to the version control system without interpreting it.
rustpkg also interprets any dependencies on such a package ID literally
(as opposed to versions, where a newer version satisfies a dependency on an older version).
Thus, `github.com/mozilla/rust#5c4cd30f80` is also a valid package ID,
since git can deduce that 5c4cd30f80 refers to a revision of the desired repository.
