AFAIK it doesn't -- script/plugin install from a git URL is no better  
than manually unpacking the tgz into vendor/plugins, i.e. completely  
useless. I've pretty much resigned myself to just blowing away each  
plugin directory when I want to update it, and either tracking my  
local changes manually (i.e. maintaining a diff that I laboriously  
reapply after updating) or monkeypatching plugins in lib/ rather than  
modifying them directly.

(script/plugin update relies on svn:externals.)

Rails dependency management is getting worse. Maybe piston 2.0, with  
git support, will make it better again?
