editable flags -e in requirements.txt don't work

requirements.txt

-e git+git://github.com/ojii/pymaging-png.git#egg=pymaging-png

throws error:

removing -e fixes the problem as a temporary fix

Just wanted to add that pipenv also does not work for git due to the requirements.txt generated by pipenv having the -e flag.

For anyone needing a workaround for SSH access to GitHub, use the format git+ssh://[email protected]/$org/$repo.git#egg=$egg.

@simplesteph thanks for this tip - worked for me.

Looking at the logic in lib/pip.js in detail, it seems only options starting with -- as well as -i and -f are respected.

I'll create a PR to fix that, but as a workaround you can just use --editable instead of -e:

@jacksgt We'll be on the lookout for it! Please consider adding a test case as a separate commit, so we can rework it when #482 is merged.
