What is the current behavior?

Yarn doesn't understand latest or the version bower install --save ads when it's from a git repo.

Latest:

{
  "name": "test",
  "authors": [
    "Kit Sunde <[email protected]>"
  ],
  "description": "",
  "main": "",
  "license": "MIT",
  "homepage": "",
  "ignore": [
    "**/.*",
    "node_modules",
    "bower_components",
    "test",
    "tests"
  ],
  "dependencies": {
    "jquery.transform.js": "latest"
  }
}

bower install jquery-transform --save:

{
  "name": "test",
  "authors": [
    "Kit Sunde <[email protected]>"
  ],
  "description": "",
  "main": "",
  "license": "MIT",
  "homepage": "",
  "ignore": [
    "**/.*",
    "node_modules",
    "bower_components",
    "test",
    "tests"
  ],
  "dependencies": {
    "jquery.transform.js": "jquery-transform#*"
  }
}

Both fails with Yarn:

$ yarn
yarn install v0.15.1
info No lockfile found.
[1/4] 🔍  Resolving packages...
error Couldn't find match for "jquery-transform" in "gh-pages,master,transformOrigin,transitionCompat" for "https://github.com/louisremi/jquery.transform.js.git".
info Visit http://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/cli/install for documentation about this command.

If I change the version to a branch like master it works.

What is the expected behavior?

It should behave like bower.

Please mention your node.js, yarn and operating system version.

$ yarn --version
0.15.1
$ node --version
v6.3.1
$ sw_vers -productVersion
10.12

We've removed support for Bower, see #1441.
