Tried to update using vim-plug and I receive.

- Finishing ... Done!
x fzf:
    fatal: refusing to merge unrelated histories

It's happening for a while, so I'm not sure if it was a breaking change.

Did you make any commits manually on fzf directory?

:PlugClean will detect the problem and delete the directory. If it doesn't, you can manually delete the directory. Then re-run PlugUpdate or PlugInstall.

I didn't, @junegunn.

I removed both ~/.vim/plugged and ~/.fzf folders and rerun the commands and now is working as expected.

Thanks.

@junegunn Sorry for necro-bumping. But to give more context I've had the same issue and in my case the reason of this message was that origin/master of some plugin was rebased and force pushed.

One solution was to run :PlugClean and :PlugInstall and another to git pull --rebase inside direcotry of failing package.

I'm writing that if you'd like to handle that case during :PlugUpdate.
