Description
In my current project I have a dependence that points to a git repo.
[dependencies]
myproject= { git = "http://192.168.0.1/thing/thing.git", branch = "master" }
I was wondering if we can add a flag to always pull on build.
something similar to the following.
[dependencies]
myproject= { git = "http://192.168.0.1/thing/thing.git", branch = "master", pull_on_build = true }

Start from Cargo's handling of the TOML git dependency declaration shown in the issue and trace when dependencies are fetched during a build. Define the pull-on-build behavior and its completion criteria, then add coverage for a dependency using the proposed option.
