Andrew Grieve commented on CB-4153:
-----------------------------------
Just chatted with Michal and came up with a modified proposal.
Some background:
* `id` and `version` are used only for constructing the path to lazily
download the resource to (within your ~/.cordova directory).
* --path (or a better name: --source) could point at a git URL
Proposal:
1. For app templates passed via the command line, never cache them within
~/.cordova
2. For app templates passed via the config (JS API), cache them only when an
ID and Version are supplied
Rationale:
* If a user specifies a local path via --source, then there is no benefit to
symlinking it within ~/.cordova.
* If a user specifies a URL via --source, then they should expect it to be
downloaded.
* If a user wants a URL to be cached, they should download it themselves and
use --source=local/path.
> Add ability to select default app template at "cordova create" time
