### fatal: dumb http transport does not support --depth
Apparently the git option `--depth 1` requires SSL on the remote Git server. It is now default, to reduce download size. To get around this, you can:
**Disable Shallow Cloning**
Add `let g:plug_shallow = 0` before the `plug#end` call.
**Mirror the repository on a Git server with https (i.e. Github or BitBucket).**
Then just add it normally with the new URI.
**Mark the plugin as local/unmanaged**
a) Clone it locally to `~/.vim/plugged/plugin_name`
b) Add to the vimrc with `Plug '~/.vim/plugged/plugin_name'`.
The leading tilda tells vim-plug not to do anything other than rtp for plugin_name.
