No, currently there is no such option.=C2=A0 But before you try and hack on=
package-vc, you should know that I am currently working on resolving a
bug where packages cannot be installed if a dependency is apparently
missing.=C2=A0 When that is done (I expect to be done within a day or two),=
then adding we can work on adding this feature.=C2=A0 I expect we'll ad= d that
to the master branch, since this constitutes a new feature.

That being said, I'd like to repeat that the main intention behind
package-vc is to make contributing to packages easier.=C2=A0 The fact that = it
can be used to pin releases, was not a primary intent, so there could be rough edges.
