">= 1.8" is not a tag and never worked, just use master.

Why so ?

[bjornstar]

Component has no semver support. It literally takes the value there and requests it as a tag from github.

So here it would be requesting:

https://raw.github.com/components/jquery/>=%201.8/component.json

The asterisk is a shortcut to master which is what most people use.

I know the asterisk is a shortcut to master, but it's usually a bad idea. I guess we can use that before component gets a register -- thanks
