Support for dart git packages

[RobinIrmer]

Tell us more.

Hello,

we're currently unable to use renovate for dart git packages (go, terraform and bazel are working great!) - is there any chance this feature request could be added to renovate?

xxx:
    git:
      url: [email protected]:org/xxx.git
      ref: v2.10.12
      path: pkg/dart

ref: https://dart.dev/tools/pub/dependencies#git-packages

Hi there,

Get your discussion fixed faster by creating a minimal reproduction. This means a repository dedicated to reproducing this issue with the minimal dependencies and config possible.

Before we start working on your issue we need to know exactly what's causing the current behavior. A minimal reproduction helps us with this.

To get started, please read our guide on creating a minimal reproduction.

We may close the discussion if you, or someone else, haven't created a minimal reproduction within two weeks. If you need more time, or are stuck, please ask for help or more time in a comment.

Good luck,

The Renovate team

Maybe this is more feasible now that Dart 3.9.0 added support for a 'tag_pattern' field in the pubspec.yaml?

dependencies:
  my_dependency:
    git:
      url: https://github.com/example/my_dependency
      tag_pattern: v{{version}}
    version: ^2.0.1

The 'version' field must be a semantic version, unlike ref which can be anything Git allows to identify a commit.

I created a minimal reproduction here: https://github.com/Conrad598/renovate-reproduction-26319

Renovate trying to look up the package on pub.dev leads to it using any hosted package that might have the same name.
I've based my reproduction repo on the one from @Conrad598 ❤️

Looks like this got added in 41.159.0.
