I fear we may well have started talking at cross purposes. At the risk
of doing the wrong thing I'll reset this thread with:

Go allows for any Git, Mercurial or Bazaar repository as a dependency.
It fetches the source into the workspace and compiles into the
workspace. The go language uses URIs to specify the import so the DVCS
nature is up front – and leads to lots of vendoring problems. There is
only the Go distribution and DVCS repositories.

Cargo fetches source from the central crate repository or from a DVCS
repository depending on the contents of the Cargo.toml file. The crate
names are the only thing the application source code knows about. There
is a central repository and DVCS repositories.

Dub cannot get from a DVCS repository but has a sequence of
repositories it can reach. It is feasible that these local Dub
repositories could have been got by DVCS, but this is a manual thing
not something Dub handles, unlike Go and Cargo. I feel that Dub should
behave more like Cargo.
