Support (or at least non-fatal handling) for git dependencies?

[thedewi]

Git dependencies are causing fatal errors on my system.

My npm-shrinkwrap.json contains this github dependency entry:

"techan": {
  "version": "0.6.0",
  "from": "techan@git://github.com/andredumas/techan.js#f7d1489b61a2dd951036f9dc207d1c91339b00f9",
  "resolved": "git://github.com/andredumas/techan.js#f7d1489b61a2dd951036f9dc207d1c91339b00f9"
},

This derives from my package.json entry: "techan": "andredumas/techan.js#0.6.0"

Shrinkpack (or maybe it's npm's cache API) doesn't seem to know how to respond:

error adding [email protected] to npm cache: Error: Registry returned 404 for GET on https://registry.npmjs.org/techan
