 - Packrat uses `devtools` + `httr` (when available) to download files and
   directories from GitHub URLs. This should enable users to allow packrat
   to access private GitHub repositories as long as the `GITHUB_PAT`
   environment variable is set to an appropriate private access token.

 - The `install_github()` shim from packrat has been removed -- please

   on the `devtools` package, or by loading it from the user library with

 - Packrat is now smarter when managing symlinks within the project library
   (when package caching is enabled). This should allow multiple R processes
   to use the same packrat project at the same time. (Previously, there was
   risk that one R session might clear / refresh symlinks while another process
   attempted to access them).
