I was referring to Peter's script which uses $TRAVIS_BRANCH for the
super project. In my modules, I just use a stable release, but if I
wanted a new version of a dependency, I'd do what Andrey suggested,
and use a specific version of the super project (i.e. a tag or a
commit's hash) rather than a branch.
