At the moment, `g.extension` only supports the installation of the latest
revision of the svn repository. As a result, any non-backward compatible
change in the GRASS-addons repo, means that existing code may break.
Being able to install specific versions of GRASS addons would mitigate a
potential source of bugs and would make debugging of addon related code
easier.

Comment (by wenzeslaus):
The 7.1 version of g.extension can
[https://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Talk:GRASS_Community_Sprint_Como_2015#Vaclav_Petras
theoretically install any online zip] if it has the right Makefile. You
can also download the right version and then install from the zip or
directory. For example, here is installation for r57849 version of
r.local.relief (URL can be retrieved from Trac):

g.extension: example to download specific version from GRASS Addons

If you with for this to be solved by parameters of the g.extension module,
please create a new ticket (suggestions of interface, naming and use cases
are welcome).
