having registires and ports point to latest commit instead of baseline

[Cazadorro]

I use a private registry to manage internal projects. One big issue is that sometimes we use in active developed projects which need to be updated immediately with other active developed projects, which depend on unstable libraries. We would like to be able to just say something like "Look at the latest commit in this branch" for ports.

If we don't do this, we have to copy our hash from our library, paste it in the portfile.cmake, then commit, then edit the git tree hash inside of the versions folder, and then finally update the registry baseline inside every single library that needs it updated.

Needless to say this takes a while. While searching for solutions I came across this: microsoft/vcpkg-tool#155 but I don't see a description of how I can use this.

Is there a way to avoid updating the baseline for every port for libraries which aren't stable? I also saw this issue #16624 but I don't see it ever actually making it in, despite it being closed as completed?
