Usually we stick to stable versions unless there is a good reason (important bug fixes, fixes the build).

The last stable, 2.2.9, was released in Oct 2016. It is quite old.
2.3.0-pre10 was released in June 2017, so it's not exactly new either.
According to their project board, I would say that a stable 2.3 is still a ways off. There's just one guy working on hub.
But the pre-release contains some very interesting features, and is fairly stable.
I understand the policy, and fully support it. But in this particular case, it's just a matter of upstream taking forever to produce something they want to label "stable".
Alternatively, @layus could submit a new package hubUnstable or somesuch thing.

I was also thinking to submit a PR to get this version (for the ls command).
I think adding the hubUnstable attribute is a good tradeoff.

Ok, let's go for hubUnstable.

Thanks @layus ! |
[Edit] The unstable version is now in a separate package. This should therefore not more be a problem to merge this PR as the changes are in a new, different package [/Edit]
I really wanted the ability to make pull-requests that follow
.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md. This feature is not released in a stable branch yet, so I updated to 2.3.0-pre10.In the process, I refactored the build a bit to use the install script provided upstream.
This is why I decided to PR this change.
If there is strong apposition against comiting pre-release versions of hub, I will revert it to 2.2.9.
Motivation for this change
