Currently Cargo pretty heavily over-approximates data fetch for git dependencies. For the index it fetches precisely one branch, but for all other git dependencies Cargo will fetch all branches and all tags all the time. In each of these situations, however, Cargo knows if one branch is desired or if only one tag is desired. This commit updates Cargo's fetching logic to plumb the desired `GitReference` all the way down to `fetch`. In that one location we then determine what to fetch. Namely if a branch or tag is explicitly selected then we only fetch that one reference from the remote, cutting down on the amount of traffic to the git remote. Additionally a bugfix included here is that the GitHub fast path for checking if a repository is up-to-date now works for non-`master`-based branch dependencies.
Cargo
Cargo downloads your Rust project’s dependencies and compiles your project.

Code Status
Code documentation: https://docs.rs/cargo/
Installing Cargo
Cargo is distributed by default with Rust, so if you've got rustc installed
locally you probably also have cargo installed locally.
Compiling from Source
Cargo requires the following tools and packages to build:
gitcurl(on Unix)pkg-config(on Unix, used to figure out thelibsslheaders/libraries)- OpenSSL headers (only for Unix, this is the
libssl-devpackage on ubuntu) cargoandrustc
First, you'll want to check out this repository
git clone https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo
cd cargo
With cargo already installed, you can simply run:
cargo build --release
Adding new subcommands to Cargo
Cargo is designed to be extensible with new subcommands without having to modify Cargo itself. See the Wiki page for more details and a list of known community-developed subcommands.
Releases
Cargo releases coincide with Rust releases. High level release notes are available as part of Rust's release notes. Detailed release notes are available in this repo at CHANGELOG.md.
