pip install from repo with proper caching and versioning

How do I specify a requirement dependency from a private git repo, such that it will update if the sha of what it already installed doesn't match, but doesn't reinstall otherwise?

This is what I use now:

pip install git+git://github.com/myorg/mypkg.git@<full-sha-of-pinned-version>#egg=mypkgname

But if I pip install using different <full-sha...> values, it doesn't ever reinstall, saying "requirement already satisfied."

This seems different than when I do, say, pip install realpkg==1.1.0 which will correctly reinstall when i change the version to 1.1.1, say.

How do I get it to automatically upgrade if and only if the SHA changes (or a version specifier, but those don't seem to work either)?

pip compares package versions, not VCS URLs. Set version in #egg=mypkgname-1.1.1, increase it to #egg=mypkgname-1.1.2 to make pip know the version changed.
