[jafaripur]

I'm update plugin to latest (Version 1.2) and my composer is version 1.1.3 When updating, in updating asset section, all of my ram used (8GB) and 2 gb get to swp area and my system going to slow mod and i force to restart my computer. I'm use `compuser update`` in fresh installation. more than 80% of ram used by a console which is updating assets by this plugin.

After downgrade the version of plugin to 1.1.4 it's work for me.

You have a Angular JS dependency and it have the nithly versions (-patch). With the 1.2.0 version, I have remove the default pattern to skip version (see #227).

Simply add the asset-pattern-skip-version option in extra section:

{
    "extra": {
        "asset-pattern-skip-version": "(-patch)"
    }
}

At the same time, if you have GIT, you can can force Github Driver to use the native GIT instead of APIs.

{
    "extra": {
        "asset-vcs-driver-options": {
            "github-no-api": true
        }
    }
}

Result: 67.3MB with asset-pattern-skip-version.

Or run composer update -vv to see if there are 100s of tags with a non-excluded schema (eg. dev) which you don't need and which slow down the process.
