allow branch names and not just version numbers

[seb-wahl]

allow branch names and not just version numbers set --user flag for pip (required on blogin), doesn't hurt to have it everywhere else

[pgierz]

Could you put a usage example? I'll include it in the documentation

[seb-wahl]

esm_versions upgrade esm_environment=allow-source-workaround

or

esm_versions upgrade esm_environment=v4.0.1

[seb-wahl]

I could merge myself :-) but I did not for two reasons:

• having someone else check my modifications is always good
• I haven't run bumpversion on esm_versions. (Could you send me your bump version config or your recipe how you bump versions, so I can do this myself in the future)

[pgierz]

Agreed on both points :-)

Check the setup.cfg for the bumpversion config:

[bumpversion]
current_version = 4.1.0
commit = True
tag = True

[bumpversion:file:setup.py]
search = version="{current_version}"
replace = version="{new_version}"

[bumpversion:file:esm_version_checker/__init__.py]
search = __version__ = "{current_version}"
replace = __version__ = "{new_version}"

If you just run bumpversion <major|minor|patch> in the top level, it'll take care of: 1) New version numbers in all relevant files 2) Tag with the new version number

I've been trying to follow semantic versioning for the version number scheme, so major for "breaking changes", minor for "new features" and patch for "bugfixes"

I'll merge this now, as I need it to proceed with testing and porting to new machines. Otherwise I always have to "hack" e.g. esm-environments before I can start testing foci. With this update I can manage branches with esm_versions. I'm sure it's useful for others, too.

Sorry for the delay, it was still on my list. I'll put your other PR in now.
