Add the ability to add a branch or tag

[steffenmllr]

Would be great if I cloud do:

{
 "napa": {
    "angular": "angular/bower-angular#v1.2.3",
    "ui-router": "angular-ui/ui-router#master",
    "angular-mocks": "angular/angular-mocks"
  }
}

I was just looking for this ability too. Seems like you couldn't do this just with git due to security reasons (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7196682/is-it-possible-to-clone-only-certain-commit-from-a-git-repo-with-depth-1). I would guess if you're looking for a tag you could get the zipped archive for the repo instead though (of course napa would have to be updated to do that, probably via #1).

Napa has been great so far. But it just updated all my angular dependencies and broke everything :(

+1. This is the only thing that bothers me with napa. With this single feature I'll be able to ditch completely Bower (which really is just an inferior npm).

As of 0.3.0 you can now download arbitrary urls or from github tagged releases:

{
  "scripts": {
    "install": "napa"
  },
  "napa": {
    "foo": "username/repo#v1.2.3",
    "bar": "https://example.com/downloads/release.tar.gz"
  }
}

Currently for a lot of github releases, it will download and extract into a sub folder, node_modules/module/release-1.2.3/actualContents. Let me know if that's an issue and I'll add some logic to detect and correct that.

This is hot !

The path may not be a problem for me, since I need to use the full path to use the lib downloaded with napa. Whether I include it directly in the browser or 'browserify' it, at first glance it's not a problem. Maybe for consistency's sake only.

Next step is branch and commit id.

@DjebbZ You should be able to reference a branch or commit with: user/repo#branch and user/repo#347259472813400c7a982690acaa516292a8be40.

Or just explicitly set the url: https://github.com/user/repo/archive/347259472813400c7a982690acaa516292a8be40.zip

Awesome. If these examples could end up in the README... PR may be coming soon ;)
