Using this with the dl command worked great and the needed version info for the update status is correctly injected into the .info file.\r\nTrying to use this with the up or upc the version info is not updated. This way I end up with code of a newer version as the .info file says. Using the ```--gitcheckoutparams``` with -f (force) and ```--gitinfofile``` removes the version information in the .info completely and therefor is no longer recognized by update status.\r\nAny help welcome to solve this. This has to be a commen problem. Maybe i just don't do it right.\r\nI am using drush v. 6.2.0"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/drush-ops/drush/issues/comments/113316846","html_url":"https://github.com/drush-ops/drush/issues/623#issuecomment-113316846","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/drush-ops/drush/issues/623","id":113316846,"user":{"login":"drzraf","id":1169926,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1169926?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/drzraf","html_url":"https://github.com/drzraf","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/drzraf/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/drzraf/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/drzraf/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/drzraf/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/drzraf/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/drzraf/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/drzraf/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/drzraf/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/drzraf/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-06-18T23:22:00Z","updated_at":"2015-06-18T23:22:00Z","body":"got it working using incaic's workaround.
