Don't clone git repository via composer

I am trying composer from packagist.org and a git repository for managing versions of my library. When I required my library, composer cloned the repository to vendor folder, but I need only download files. Here's my composer.json:

{
    "name": "vend/xxxxxx",
    "description": "SDK for quick creation of client integration",
    "keywords": [
        "xxxxxxx",
        "sdk"
    ],
    "homepage": "xxxxxxxxxx",
    "type": "library",
    "license": "MIT",
    "autoload": {
        "psr-0": {
            "DDelivery": "application/classes"
        }
    },
    "extra": {
        "branch-alias": {
            "dev-master": "2.0.*@dev"
        }
    }
}

and composer.json 2:

{
    "require": {
        "vend/xxxxxx": "2.0.*@dev"
    }
}

What am I missing from my composer.json? How can I manage my versions through git and packagist.org? How do other vendors manage their frameworks?

By default, stable versions are downloaded and unstable versions are cloned. You can customize this behaviour with the --prefer-dist or --prefer-source flags of the update and install command.
