Summary

kustomize supports having components supplied by URL or arbitrary paths when configured to allow so

Motivation

Today if a component supplied by URL has something change at the URL, ArgoCD doesn't know and will not run any sync operations. By switching to the reference syntax this allows this to happen. This is useful for people that might put components in separate branches or even for people doing development testing of changes to components in a PR.

Proposal

The behavior of this feature should be exactly the same way as Helm values files are implemented by reference in the multi-source applications.
