It seems that
--prefer-dist
is bugged: composer/composer#5823Basically, if you specify a commit ref for a package version,
--prefer-dist
will sometimes cause composer to ignore that. This is a rather insidious bug because of the sticky nature of how composer chooses source and dist packages... it can cause some really unexpected behavior.Simply removing
--prefer-dist
should fix this. Composer will still use dist versions of stable packages. Newer composer versions cache Git clones locally, so there shouldn't be much of a performance impact.
