Right.
DUB wouldn't even have to know what branch/tag is checked out and any VCS
would work.
Right. I'm not against supporting a local path but I think supporting
arbitrary git repositories would be nice as well. Bundler (a tool used
by Ruby projects) supports gems (which would correspond to a package in
the dub registry), git repositories and local file paths. It also
supports "shortcuts" for github repositories. When using a git
repository it will by default used the default branch.
