I did not get the prompt and had to specify --keep-vcs to maintain the .git data. I realized later that when specifying the stability of dev, `composer create-project -s dev vendor/package` then I do get prompted. I am wondering why there is the assumption that if I get the most stable, I don't want the vcs? Perhaps that is true in most cases, but why not just ask each time?  Or maybe the documentation for create-project could include this distinction? I didn't find it anywhere.\r\n\r\nAgain, this isn't an issue per se. Just a curiosity. Thanks."}}
