I am developing some package. I run `Pkg> test` for testing purpose. However, every time it take some time to update registry, git-repo and resolving package versions. If I work without network, it even fails. Is there any way to prevent this?

```julia
Updating registry at `C:\Users\zhangly\.julia\registries\General`
Updating git-repo `https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General.git`
Testing Hotspot
Resolving package versions...

```

[https://github.com/JuliaLang/Pkg.jl/pull/1690](https://github.com/JuliaLang/Pkg.jl/pull/1690) might fix this (will be in 1.4)
