Git sources cannot be overridden

[ishitatsuyuki]

[dependencies]
cargo = { git = "https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo" }

[replace]
"cargo:0.20.0" = { path = "cargo" }

No, it doesn't work.

warning: package replacement is not used: https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io-index#cargo:0.20.0

For git sources you need to specify the URL as well, does it work then?

[ishitatsuyuki]

Can you clarify about the format? Simply specifying the URL as the version was rejected as invalid syntax.

[alexcrichton]

The documentation for the replace section indicates keys are package id specifications which has docs and examples of package ids.

This was resolved with the following syntax:

[replace]
"https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo#0.20.0" = { path = "cargo" }

Thanks for pointing me to the right direction.
