Add way to update to stable releases only

As far as I can tell minpac only has the ability to pull in updates from the master via git. I'd love to be able to run :PackUpdate and have it only pull in new releases – which in my experience is a much better indicator of stability than what's in master.

It's not easy to define what is stable version. It depends on each plugin.
If a plugin has the stable branch, you can use call minpac#add('url', {'branch': 'stable'}).
If you want to get only tagged versions, it's not easy, because git doesn't provide an easy way to do so.
Please use the 'rev' option and set the tag name manually.

What about upgrading only on new tags? I think this would be a good way to define stable releases.

For reference, it seems that vim-plug has support to upgrade only on new tags. 😄

Thank you for the information. It seems that vim-plug uses git tag --list --sort -version:refname to get the latest tag. It might be also used for minpac.

Support updating only tags by {'rev': '*'}.
