It seems that if I reclone the repo into another directory and 
copy it's history (.git directory) into the dub package, it works 
except that DUB or something else has converted the line endings 
to wrong format. I have not tested this throughly yet so I'm not 
sure it does the trick but may be worth trying if somebody else 
has the same problem.
