How to tell cookiecutter to download a stable version of cookiecutter-django?

The command:

cookiecutter https://github.com/pydanny/cookiecutter-django/

will clone the lastest version of cookiecutter-django, which is aimed for Django 1.9.

There is a Stable section in the README pointing to some tags. One of them being https://github.com/pydanny/cookiecutter-django/releases/tag/1.8.7.

But if I try:

cookiecutter https://github.com/pydanny/cookiecutter-django/releases/tag/1.8.7

I get an error:

subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command '[u'git', u'clone', u'https://github.com/pydanny/cookiecutter-django/releases/tag/1.8.7']' returned non-zero exit status 128

So, how to specify cookiecutter to use those stable released instead of the master branch?

According to cookiecutter docs, You can choose to checkout specific branch, tags and commit with CLI argument --checkout or -c

Something like this command should work:

$ cookiecutter https://github.com/pydanny/cookiecutter-django.git --checkout 1.8.7
