-Git dependencies are automatically checked out and cloned, and are considered for version resolution. The `rev` field can be a git "commit-ish", which essentially is a commit hash, a tag name, or a branch name, where the newest name that starts with the indicated revision is selected. The `version` field can be any of the [semver predicates](https://docs.rs/semver/#requirements), such as a simple version `X.Y.Z` (or `X.Y`), prefixing `^` to only allow that specific version, `~` to limit updates to patches, or defining custom ranges with `>=U.V.W, <X.Y.Z`. More detail on how the `version` field is parsed can be found in the [cargo documentation](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/specifying-dependencies.html). The highest compatible version is selected.
