Bower 1.1.2 fails to install specific branch

[albv]

How to repeat:
bower install sass-bootstrap#3.0.0-wip
gives
bower ENORESTARGET No tag found that was able to satisfy 3.0.0-wip

However
bower install sass-bootstrap#master
or
bower install sass-bootstrap#gh-pages
works just fine.

sass-bootstrop doesn't have a tag with that name: https://github.com/jlong/sass-twitter-bootstrap/releases

Oh, this fails because bower thinks that 0.3.0-wip is a tag and not a branch. @sindresorhus he's right.

Can I ask here?

In my bower.json I have:

"bootstrap":            "git://github.com/twbs/bootstrap.git#~3.0.0"

Installs RC1, but in releases the latest tag is v3.0.0-rc.2.
Is this expected behavior?

[satazor]

@shoomyth they made a typo in the tag. They released first one as rc1 and second one as rc.2. According to semver rc1 is greater then rc.2.

@satazor oh, it's not good :) thanks!
