Poetry: Support for git refs in poetry add

[x] I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate.

Hi!
Thanks for the tool. Migrating from pipenv to poetry.
It would be great to see git refs support in poetry add. Every so often I install packages from Git branches/pull requests. Currently this syntax does not work:

-> % poetry add nornir --git https://github.com/nornir-automation/[email protected]

add [-D|--dev] [--git GIT] [--path PATH] [-E|--extras EXTRAS] [--optional] [--python PYTHON] [--platform PLATFORM] [--allow-prereleases] [--dry-run] [--] <name> (<name>)...

I have to add it manually in pyproject.toml, but I would love to avoid that:

[tool.poetry.dependencies]
python = "*"
nornir = { git = "https://github.com/nornir-automation/nornir.git", branch = "2.0" }

I don't exclude that requested functionality is already available, but I could find it in the docs.
Thanks!

There seems to be no way to specify the branch in poetry add but still this is somehow supported in pyproject.toml?

@agronholm yes it seems there are a number of features which are not supported on the command-line add, I'm personally not clear whether it's by design or just awaiting implementation

Just ran into this. This needs to be documented asap - it's really hard to figure out how to add your github repo fork. Please give it a few minutes and update the docs.
