Feature Request

Various projects I am working on requires separation of code into multiple different modules (and hence repositories). I can do this with pip via pip install -e git+https://.../my-module.git and it saves it into src/my-module in editable mode.

https://github.com/boto/boto3/blob/develop/requirements.txt is an example I found that has this pattern, where botocore got imported into boto inside src/.

This is important during development because you can work on both code bases at the same time such as updating the logic in my-module while running integration tests in your main project.

This pattern is commonly used in PHP's composer with the --preferred-source flag (which is equivalent to editable mode). The package will be checked out as a git repo inside the vendor directory where you can make any necessary modifications etc independently of the main project.

I've been looking through the code and I can't seem to find a way to do this with poetry 1.0.5. Currently it does a git checkout into the venv's src/my-module as a headless commit. Alternatively, you can add with a path, but that requires 2 packages sitting side by side, which is not always the case for various development setup.

I was hoping #755 would solve this issue, but it addresses a different problem altogether.
