This is such a cause for concern to me because I'm developing an open source

That sounds like a perfect situation for using vendor branches.
You can do something approaching vendor branches with git, but I think this
would be really awkward: you would have to work out the dependencies for
each package dependency and keep a branch for each. This would be a
real pain
and make working with multiple collaborators difficult, brittle and messy.
