When developing local dependent packages, the unmodified implementation should use ```console nimble develop file:///absolute/path/to/package ``` but this is not suitable for development since it will be cloned into a subdirectory. If the package is a local package, it is easier to handle it as is without cloning. With this change, ```console nimble develop file:///absolute/path/to/package --withDependencies ``` would change nimble.develop as follows: ```diff "dependencies": [ ... + "absolute/path/to/package" ] ```
```console nimble develop file:///absolute/path/to/package ``` is still a bit cumbersome and confusing for those not familiar with uri. ```console nimble develop /absolute/path/to/package ``` directory exists, the preferred UX would be to interpret this implicitly as file://.
