Hi,

Is there a way of asking which version of package XXX  "dub fetch XXX"
will actually fetch. I would like to avoid checking the contents of
~/.dub/packages before and after.

Use the `--annotate` option:

$ dub fetch dlangide --annotate
Fetching dlangide 0.8.17...
Please note that you need to use `dub run <pkgname>` or add it to 
dependencies of your package to actually use/run it. dub does not 
do actual installation of packages outside of its own ecosystem.
