Issue

I use poetry with a git dependency on a particular branch:

foo = { git = "https://github.com/bar/foo.git", branch = "feat/branch" }

I run poetry update and I have my lock file, with the commit sha of this particular branch at this particular time.

Now I force push my branch feat/branch and I try running poetry install, I have the following error:

CalledProcessError

  Command '['git', '--git-dir', '.../.cache/pypoetry/virtualenvs/poetry-bug-MXzYaQCP-py3.8/src/foo/.git', '--work-tree', '.../.cache/pypoetry/virtualenvs/poetry-bug-MXzYaQCP-py3.8/src/foo', 'checkout', '99eeaa1910a597818b134319db5641cd61d27978']' returned non-zero exit status 128.

      218│                     retcode, process.args, output=stdout, stderr=stderr
      219│                 )
      220│         finally:
      221│             # None because our context manager __exit__ does not use them.

This is because the commit sha of the poetry.lock file does not exist anymore (or is not in a branch at least).

I would like this use-case to be valid, without having to run poetry update every time my branch changes. This is perhaps more of a feature request than a bug report. I understand that the current behavior is also valid. Could it be an option in the configuration not to write the commit sha in the lock file?

This is related to this issue: #5002 AFAICT

Thank you all for the awesome work,
