Description

How can I point github-download at a tag? The following does not work: "https://github.com/bitovi/canjs#v2.0.7":

Error: ENOENT, rename '/Users/justin/dev/canjs.com/1412744021855-42031191987916827/canjs-v2.0.7'

And "https://github.com/bitovi/canjs/tree/v2.0.7" downloads the master branch. Thanks!

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
  2. Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported behavior with the two GitHub URLs in the issue body and inspect the repository's download entry point to see how refs are parsed. Done means a tag URL downloads the tagged repository rather than the master branch, while the existing repository-download behavior remains intact.
