Yeah. I'm fairly certain that that's your only option. dub is
not designed with the idea that you would be editing the source

to get pulled in via dub so that you can have your local stuff
depend on other local stuff, but when dub downloads something,
it's really just for its internal use.

It seems that if I reclone the repo into another directory and
copy it's history (.git directory) into the dub package, it works
except that DUB or something else has converted the line endings
to wrong format. I have not tested this throughly yet so I'm not
sure it does the trick but may be worth trying if somebody else
has the same problem.
