Dub, Git, Mercurial, Bazaar

[Russel Winder via Digitalmars-d-learn]

Go only uses Git, Mercurial, or Bazaar for dependency handling. Rust
(via Cargo) allows for a central repository, and Git (, and Mercurial
?) repositories. Dub appears only to allow for central repository, or
have I missed it's ability to work with DVCS repositories?

If Dub cannot handle DVCS repositories, it needs to be able to.

The rationale is that people can access dependencies that are available
but not yet, or never will be, in the central repository. The use case
that matters is working with a dependency that is not yet, but
definitely will be in the central repository.

Experience of Rust, and Herd with Ceylon, shows this to be very
valuable to community activity.
