Issue
I have added mypy to my project as a github dependency:
mypy = {git = "git@github.com:python/mypy.git"}
When I check for outdated packages, Poetry always lists mypy. For example:
$ poetry show --outdated
mypy 1.0.0+dev.695ea3017fee084c9d2ec17d9b28f8af905e3b63 695ea30
That is already the HEAD version of mypy, and the Poetry update command (correctly) does nothing:
$ poetry update
Updating dependencies
Resolving dependencies... (3.3s)
Writing lock file
No dependencies to install or update
I can only speculate as to why the show command thinks this dependency is outdated. Perhaps it's because the mypy project reports a pre-release version; perhaps it's because they use a git commit in their version number, which has unstable ordering. In any case, I expect show --outdated to agree with update as to whether an update exists.
This is my first use of a github dependency, so it's possible that this is expected behavior, but I could not find a reference to the behavior in the Poetry docs or issue tracker.

Research direction
Reproduce the behavior with the linked pyproject.toml, the GitHub-based mypy dependency, and Poetry 1.3.0 using both poetry show --outdated and poetry update. Compare how each command evaluates the current Git revision and determine what outcome makes the commands agree.
