Overview

A repro for an issue in Haxelib where versions on transitive dependencies are always parsed as SemVer. This breaks in the case where you have:

A
B --(git ref)--> A
C --(git ref)--> B

Running

To check out the source:

git clone https://gist.github.com/fa733e78442af62abfb50a9c458677a1.git dummy-haxe-library-a
git clone https://gist.github.com/228302fc7eda9dc0b3f7f3f7d365b8e8.git dummy-haxe-library-b
git clone https://gist.github.com/4d146abf3cb534e28be16646ffc04103.git dummy-haxe-library-c

Then, install locally in a new repo to avoid polluting your system's global haxelib repo:

cd dummy-haxe-library-c
haxelib newrepo
haxelib install ./haxelib.json

Build:

haxe ./build.hxml

Error:

Error: Error: Cannot process [dummy-haxe-library-b]: git:https://gist.github.com/tbrosman/fa733e78442af62abfb50a9c458677a1.git#56ef121dfe88e8b10c2d0f643134927358f6f002 is not a valid version string

Note that the dependency in the error is dummy-haxe-library-a (fa7...) referenced from dummy-haxe-library-b.
