[#7121 ](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7121 ) `npm install --save` for Git
dependencies saves the URL passed in, instead of the temporary directory used
to clone the remote repo. Fixes using Git dependencies when shrinkwwapping.
In the process, rewrote the Git dependency caching code. Again. No more
single-letter variable names, and a much clearer workflow.
