I did a cordova/phonegap upgrade and now I cannot install plugins from git urls anymore. Anyone experienced such an issue and already solved this?

$ cordova plugin add https://github.com/dawsonloudon/VideoPlayer.git
Fetching plugin "https://github.com/dawsonloudon/VideoPlayer.git" via git clone
Repository "https://github.com/dawsonloudon/VideoPlayer.git" checked out to git ref "master".

Version info:

$ phonegap -v
5.0.0-0.28.1

$ cordova -v
5.1.1

OSX 10.10.3

EDIT: It seems that it works if I move my repository to my home directory (~/).

I had the same issue with Cordova on Windows 7. I had to roll back to 5.0.0 (npm install -g [email protected]) to make it work again.
