Upgrade cordova: cannot install plugins from git urls anymore

Question

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

To extend other great answers provided here,

As a temporary workaround, here's a one-liner that will downgrade Cordova, install plugin, and upgrade Cordova back:

npm install -g cordova@5.0.0 && cordova plugin add [plugin url] && npm install -g cordova

Will take some time to execute, but eliminates all the manual repo cloning work.
