Description of problem
Every now and then I would like to test a new fix or feature in the platform libraries of my project.
For example, for ESP8266, I use this one as a platform:
platform = https://github.com/platformio/platform-espressif8266.git#feature/stage
But this does only fetch the feature/stage branch of that repo.
What I would like is to be able to select a specific pull request of that (esp8266/Arduino) repo to set as my platform.
In the retrieved packages directory of PIO, the git config is not complete or correct.
I do see the pull requests on origin, but when I want to checkout based on a PR, I get an error like "missing delta bases". So that's why I think it would be a great feature if PlatformIO could handle all this hassle.
Since this is more of a generic Git/Github issue, I hoped it would be a PlatformIO-core issue, but if it does not belong here, please let me know where it is more appropriate.
