custom nova action and git branches

Hi all.

I may have missed this in the documentation, but I'm having issues with custom actions and git.

Iv installed an action, in my composer file I have "batch/actions":"*" but every time I switch branches and run a composer install it says it can't find it

Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.
  Problem 1
    - Root composer.json requires batch/actions == dev-master, it is found batch/actions[dev-master] in the lock file and batch/actions[v1.20.0] from path repo (./nova-components/Actions) but it does not match your constraint and is therefore not installable. Make sure you either fix the constraint or avoid updating this package to keep the one from the lock file.
Action failed: see logs above for details

The particular issue above is part of the automation, and it auto tags and then runs composer which will always throw the above error as it never finds the 'correct version'

is there a way to get around this and fix it?
