Added --prefer-source #49

Closed jujugrrr closed 9 years ago

jujugrrr commented 9 years ago

Hi, The library support --prefer-dist which is set to false by default, but it seems it's enabled by default in composer.

--prefer-source: There are two ways of downloading a package: source and dist. For stable versions composer will use the dist by default. The source is a version control repository. If --prefer-source is enabled, composer will install from source if there is one. This is useful if you want to make a bugfix to a project and get a local git clone of the dependency directly.

Adding --prefer-source will allow to force sources. It's particularly useful when you reach this kind of rate limit issue on github about rate limit : https://github.com/composer/composer/issues/1861
