Pkg.jl: typeassert, expected VersionNumber, got Pkg.Types.VersionSpec

Not sure what happened here, but I'll put it here and see if I can reproduce it. In any case this could be a better error.

$ julia-master --project -e 'using Pkg; Pkg.activate("docs"); Pkg.instantiate(); Pkg.develop(PackageSpec(path = pwd()))'

I can reproduce this issue using Project.toml and Manifest.toml in https://gist.github.com/tkf/1fac12181ba095cb1ec08241c1659b62 with Julia 1.2.0-DEV.614 (719c0620e4) but not with Julia 1.1. Procedure:

$ git clone https://gist.github.com/tkf/1fac12181ba095cb1ec08241c1659b62 bug
$ cd bug
$ julia --project=.

Note that Project.toml and Manifest.toml are not "compatible". They are copied from different projects. instantiate works after resolve.
