See, I always thought people were more worried about not having proper versioning though this does make sense.

Seems like the obvious solution to both the versioning problem and the unreliable third-party repo problem is to just fork all of the repos you depend on. Doesn't really let you have different versions of deps on different branches (without a fork per branch...), but if you control the repo you're pulling code from then you can just always have master pointing at the appropriate release.

Being able to read code written by other teams you've never had any contact with is the sort of problem that Google would like to solve.
