Check if the correct revision is local and otherwise fetch the latest

Please mention your node.js, yarn and operating system version.

Possibly related to #1017.

I'm seeing this even when using hashes of commits, and explicitly updating package.json to a newer hash.

E.g., first yarn install with:

"dependencies": {
  "module": "user/module#deadbeef"
}

Then update to:

"dependencies": {
  "module": "user/module#badf00d"
}

yarn install again. yarn.lock will say that it's now at badf00d, but the installed version will still be deadbeef.

If you force reinstallation with yarn cache clean && rm -rf node_modules && yarn install, then the correct version will be installed.

I was hoping that this might have been fixed by #1641, but I tested yarn 0.17.3 and the bug still occurs.

Should be fixed now #2074
