Cannot install git+git@path unless editable mode is used

[toddjames]

• Pip version: 8.1.1
• Python version: 2.7.6
• Operating System: Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS

Description:

I cannot install from git in non-editable mode using the following syntax, however installing using the exact same path in editable mode works just fine.

git+git@server:path@branch#egg=egg_name

What I've run:

todd@dev:~$ pip install git+git@git.example.com:lib/example.git@dev#egg=example_lib
Invalid requirement: 'git+git@git.example.com:lib/example.git@dev#egg=example_lib'
It looks like a path. Does it exist ?

todd@dev:~$ pip install -e git+git@git.example.com:lib/example.git@dev#egg=example_lib
Obtaining example-lib from git+git@git.example.com:lib/example.git@dev#egg=example_lib
