Vim-plug: With upgrade new plugins are sought in a weird (and broken) URL on GitHub

[mcepl]

I have upgraded vim-plug via PlugUpgrade and suddenly when I add new plugin to my list (just plain Plug 'shumphrey/fugitive-gitlab' nothing more fancy than that), vim-plug tries to look for it in a weird URL and it breaks:

- Finishing ... Done!
x fugitive-gitlab:
    Cloning into '/home/matej/.vim/plugged/fugitive-gitlab'...
    remote: Invalid username or password.
    fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://git::@github.com/shumphrey/fugitive-g

The section of my ~/.vimrc with vim-plug configuration is:

call plug#begin('~/.vim/plugged')

And I am using 'VIM - Vi IMproved 7.4 (2013 Aug 10, compiled Jan 30 2014 10:56:21)' on RHEL-7.

OK, so my mistake was that the name of the repo is shumphrey/fugitive-gitlab.vim (I missed .vim in the end), but this is a very weird way how to signal bad parameter. With .vim in the end vim-plug works.

I think this should answer your question:
https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug/wiki/faq#whats-the-deal-with-git-in-the-url

It's all because there's no way to tell if the repository doesn't exist, try this:

git clone https://github.com/junegunn/emacs-plug.git

Well, my point was that this error should be somehow captured by vim-plug and some more reasonable should be told to the user rather than this obvious nonsense. Yes, I blame git as well.

I'd agree on this. It should have a more helpful error message than this. Or at least a suggestion to make sure the plugin was typed correctly. Wasted 20 minutes trying to figure out why it thought my username and password was wrong.
