I have a bunch of virtual environments which need replicating from one machine to another. In the past rsync was OK, but now with slightly different environments I have been using pip freeze to get a list of the installed requirements and pip install to carry out changes to the remote environment.

Is there a way to resolve issues where pip reports a different package to the one installed eg

After you've installed as editable with `pip install - git+ https://GitHub.com/project/team`, pip freeze is not displaying the source url? Or did you manually git clone and then `python setup.py install` or `pip install -e`?

the original requirements say

git+http://github.com/django-cumulus/django-cumulus.git@mast er#egg=django-cumulus

but pip freeze will only say

django-cumulus===1.0.19-22-g506121d

ie we lost the actual installation notation. Given that the git location is actually unstable ie the revision can change it seems quite hard to get reproducibility in an automatic fashion.

g506121d is derived from the repo hash (https://github.com/django-cum ulus/django-cumulus/commit/506121d8669e1cce8843d9f76f2767324f8b1e78), but I see no way to guess that from the version string unless there some standard decoding I can do of the revision.

- SemVer.org has a filename field for (previous) git hashes - https://github.com/kennethreitz/pipenv
