Description
Currently Paket allows you to either reference a single file, or an entire repo. It would be nice if it was possible to specify a directory that we want to reference.
For example if you want to use Yarn with CI easily, the current way to do it is reference a package on nuget that re-packages Yarn's bin directory. Which means if we want to stay up-to-date we have to either make our own nuget package, hope the people maintaining that nupkg are punctual, or reference every file in that directory via github file references. Referencing that entire repo is not ideal, as it's quite large.
Ideally I would be able to just do github yarnpkg/yarn bin and then when I use Fake.Javascript.Yarn I can point it at the .cmd file in the referenced directory.

Done means a dependency such as github yarnpkg/yarn bin resolves the requested directory and allows files within it to be referenced.
