Auto pull bitbucket private repository changes after every composer update - mercurial

Question

I have some problem with bitbucket private repository... So I've added something like this in my project root's composer.json :
"require": {
"php" : ">=5.4.0",
...,
"author/my-package": "0.2"
},
"repositories": [
{
"type": "vcs",
"url": "ssh://hg#bitbucket.org/author/my-package"
}
...
]
So after composer.phar update it creates repo dir in vendor... But after new commit in private repository and composer.phar update in project's root it doesn't pull last changeset... It stays on head that was on first repository import
Conclusion
After composer.phar debugging I've understood that it doesn't update (pull) last changeset if package version hasn't been changed.
I've created script which updates every my repository after every composer update running. Info here https://getcomposer.org/doc/articles/scripts.md
<?php
namespace ComposerScript;
use Composer\Repository\RepositoryManager;
use Composer\Script\Event;
use Composer\Repository\PackageRepository;
use Composer\Package\CompletePackage;
use Composer\Util\ProcessExecutor;
class EventListener
{
/**
* #var ProcessExecutor
*/
protected static $processExecutor;
protected static $command = 'hg pull -u';
public static function getProcessExecutor()
{
if (self::$processExecutor == null) {
self::$processExecutor = new ProcessExecutor();
}
return self::$processExecutor;
}
public static function postUpdateCmd(Event $event)
{
$composer = $event->getComposer();
/** #var RepositoryManager $repositoryManager */
$repositoryManager = $composer->getRepositoryManager();
$cwd = getcwd();
foreach ($repositoryManager->getRepositories() as $repository) {
if ($repository instanceof PackageRepository) {
foreach ($repository->getPackages() as $package) {
/** #var CompletePackage $package */
$vendorName = explode('/', $package->getName())[0];
$repositoryPath = $cwd . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'vendor' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $package->getName();
if ($package->getSourceType() == 'hg' && $vendorName == 'myvendor' && is_dir($repositoryPath)) {
echo PHP_EOL . "Trying to execute '".self::$command."' in '".$repositoryPath . "'" . PHP_EOL;
$exitCode = self::getProcessExecutor()->execute(self::$command, $output, $repositoryPath);
if ($exitCode !== 0) {
echo "Unable to execute '" . self::$command . "' command in '" . $repositoryPath . "' dir" .
PHP_EOL .
"Message: " .
PHP_EOL .
$output;
} else {
echo 'Success';
}
}
}
echo PHP_EOL;
}
}
}
}
And added few lines to composer.json
"autoload" : {
"psr-0": {
"ComposerScript\\EventListener" : ""
}
},
"scripts" : {
"post-update-cmd" : [
"ComposerScript\\EventListener::postUpdateCmd"
]
}

You've told composer to install version 0.2 of your package, so that's what it's done. This won't change if you run update. If you want to track a branch instead, change the version to dev-master:
"require": {
"php": ">=5.4.0",
...,
"author/my-package": "dev-master"
},
