That is not really what package-vc is about (the intention /is/ to have
the revision history available, so that you can contribute patches).
That being said, if you say you are only interested in packages from
Git, you can use this quick hack:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(require 'package)
(require 'vc-git)
(defun package-install-once-from-vc (url name)
(interactive
(let* ((url (read-string "URL: "))
(name (file-name-base (directory-file-name url))))
(list url (read-string "Name: " name))))
(let* ((tmp (make-temp-file "package" t))
(dir (expand-file-name name tmp)))
(make-directory dir)
(unless (vc-git--out-ok "clone" "--depth" "1" url dir)
(error "Failed to install %s from %s" name url))
(let ((desc (package-install-file dir)))
(message "Package `%s' installed at version %s"
(package-desc-name desc)
(package-version-join
(package-desc-version desc)))
desc)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
This is still missing some of the conveniences of package-vc, such as
building manuals, resolving dependencies, etc. but you could integrate
`package-vc--unpack-1' into the mix to get that to work as well. As is
the case with vc-packages in general, updating is difficult.
