Pin a version number of git revision with pip install --target

I have two Python projects in separate repos, say: common and depends_on_common.

Due to the constraints of our deployment environment (I do not have ssh access), I'm hoping to use 

pip install --no-deps --target common /path/to/common

as part of a CI/CD build stage to vendor common in depends_on_common. What I'd like to do is to specify an explicit version of common, or a git revision instead of effectively always building off of snapshot.

There is no mention of this capability in the docs:

-t, --target <dir>
  Install packages into <dir>. By default this will not replace existing files/folders in <dir>. Use --upgrade to replace existing packages in <dir> with new versions.

but I was hoping there was some clever way to enable this.

Maybe this section of the pip install documentation can put you in the right direction.

You probably want something like this:

pip install --no-deps --target ./common git+file:///path/to/common@da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709#egg=common
