yarn install for git dependency does not 'pack'

Do you want to request a feature or report a bug?
bug

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce.

  "dependencies": {
    "foo": "git+https://foo.git#1.0.0"
  }

yarn install

Results in entire contents of the foo repo in the node_modules/foo folder. I should note the same occurs when refering to a file location eg: a dependency of "foo": "../foo"

What is the expected behavior?
Should behave like npm. The node_modules/foo should only contain the files that would be contained if you did a $/dev/foo>yarn pack (ie: obey the .gitignore, .npmignore rules etc. etc.).

Please mention your node.js, yarn and operating system version.
windows 7 + yarn 0.24.4 + v6.10.0

knit is an RFC that addresses a similar problem yarnpkg/rfcs#41.
Currently Yarn does not have a feature that it would pack a folder before installing it automatically.
Sounds like a good opportunity to send an RFC, I'll close the issue as there is no action I can make right now.
