Really the only way is for those projects to tag a fixed version. I've

Ok, good to know.
As a follow-up question, do you think it is feasible to make 'master' branch a special case, like - it will be the only branch you can specify instead of version.
It would be a simple alternative to making 0.x tags all the time.
On one hand, I believe it would be convenient, simple and intuitive. A couple of other guys on the forum claimed that they're using this approach. Also, I would assume that a lot of programmers will be at least surprised when they find out you can't do that.
On the other hand, version tags rule is not really hard to follow and it also mildly teaches project maintainers some "ethics".
What is your thinking about it?
