Updating with vim-plug fails

[spapanik]

Description

catppuccin fails to update with vim-plug, as vim-plug tries to do a git pull. git pull fails because catppuccin tries to pull the tags, but stable is already exists and points to a different commit

### Repro

```Lua
-- DO NOT change the paths and don't remove the colorscheme
local root = vim.fn.fnamemodify("./.repro", ":p")

-- set stdpaths to use .repro
for _, name in ipairs({ "config", "data", "state", "cache" }) do
  vim.env[("XDG_%s_HOME"):format(name:upper())] = root .. "/" .. name
end

-- bootstrap lazy
local lazypath = root .. "/plugins/lazy.nvim"
if not vim.loop.fs_stat(lazypath) then
  vim.fn.system({ "git", "clone", "--filter=blob:none", "https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim.git", lazypath })
end
vim.opt.runtimepath:prepend(lazypath)

-- install plugins
local plugins = {
  "catppuccin/nvim",
  -- add any other plugins here
}
require("lazy").setup(plugins, {
  root = root .. "/plugins",
})

vim.cmd.colorscheme("catppuccin")
-- add anything else here

As I can see, both stable and 1.8.0 tags point to the same commit, and the given repro file uses lazy.nvim so I can't reproduce the issue. Can you try to remove the local directory of catppuccin/nvim and do :PlugInstall again?

[spapanik]

This works indeed, this is my current workaround. It asked vim plug to allow doing a git pull --force (with a config option) but it was rejected.

I'm not familiar with vim-plug so I think we can leave this issue open until the next release, and check if the same thing happens.

@spapanik As version 1.9.0 is released, is this issue happening again?
