Allow pull with --force

[junegunn]

Thanks for the clarification. I think this is a very rare case; an unorthodox use of tags (they should be maintaining stable branch instead) combined with a non-default global git option of yours.

vim-plug has been extremely stable and is not expected to change much in the near future, so I suggest that you add --force to your local copy of plug.vim, instead we add an option that few people will use.

As there are plugins that clobber the latest or stable or similar tags, they fail at update (for example catppuccin/nvim).

It's not clear why they fail to update. Can you be more specific? You're not specifying the tag in the Plug command, so they shouldn't affect the git pull process.

My global git configuration automatically pulls and prunes tags, which is the configuration that makes sense for the repos that I'm working with.

I found an installation that I haven't manually force pulled catpuccin. This is the error I'm getting:

x catppuccin:
    From https://github.com/catppuccin/nvim
     ! [rejected]        stable     -> stable  (would clobber existing tag)

When I go to ~/.local/share/nvim/plugged/catppuccin and I delete the offending tag, it updates fine.

Can you show me the config?

The two parts in the config are:

[remote "origin"]
    tagOpt = --tags
[fetch]
    pruneTags = true
