The the worst idea. We can also check corresponding tags on all dependant 
libraries and indicate which one is not available in target configuration.

It would also be nice to have an ability to specify which release of the 
dependency I want to build against. unit_test_framework:master - will 
indicate master branch, unit_test_framework:develop - develop branch. 
unit_test_framework:1.59.0 - corresponding tag. I believe we spoke about 
this at some point, but with git move everything else seem to be forgotten.
