Thank you for the reply. This is what I have done. The problem I am having is that when I do this, cargo is not referencing it properly. The Cargo.toml file will have a line like:

package = {git=url, rev=commit}

I have successfully packaged the package it is referencing in the fashion you have shown and have provided it under cargo-inputs, but cargo is still trying to find the package at the git url.
