You mean dub.selections.json isn't intended to be end-user-modifiable? I 
keep getting warnings about deprecated branch dependencies that say I 
should use a version tag and, if I really want a branch, edit 
dub.selections.json to make it happen.

(This is mainly for ancient packages from before the semver times, most 
of which don't work at present.)
