I have vim-plug managing itself as a plugin. When I run :PlugUpdate, I get this output:

x vim-plug:
    master
    PlugClean required.

All the other plugins are fine. Running :PlugClean does not solve the issue. What is happening?
Here is the relevant section of my vimrc:

let confdir = expand('<sfile>:h')
source ~/.config/nvim/vim-plug/plug.vim
call plug#begin(confdir . '/bundle')

Plug 'junegunn/vim-plug', { 'dir': confdir. '/vim-plug' }
"" ( lots more plugins, snipped for space... )

call plug#end()

What does :PlugStatus say?

Same thing. Every plugin is OK except for vim-plug, which is exactly the same as above.

Go to the directory, execute the following commands and let me know of their output:

git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD
echo $?
git config -f .git/config remote.origin.url
echo $?

~/dotfiles/nvim/.config/nvim (master*) $ git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD 2>&1
master
~/dotfiles/nvim/.config/nvim (master*) $ echo $?
0
~/dotfiles/nvim/.config/nvim (master*) $ git config -f .git/config remote.origin.url
~/dotfiles/nvim/.config/nvim (master*) $ echo $?
1

I think I see the issue, now; vim-plug assumes that .git/config will be the location of the git config. My vim config is a git submodule of my greater dotfiles config, so this is not the case.

Edit: rather, I think it's because vim-plug is a submodule of my vim submodule of my dotfiles. :P

I'm pretty sure you can fix this simply by removing -f .git/config from the arguments you pass to git config. Is there a reason for doing this that I'm not seeing?

Yes, see #455. vim-plug is not designed to manage submodules as plugins so I'm not going to merge your PR. Also take a look at https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug/wiki/faq#shouldnt-vim-plug-update-itself-on-plugupdate-like-vundle

@junegunn I see. I need to be able to clone my vim config easily from any new machine I need to set up; if I can't include vim-plug as a submodule of my vim config, how would you recommend I accomplish this?

  1. I have installer script in my dotfiles repo that downloads plug.vim
  2. https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug/wiki/faq#automatic-installation
  3. Include plug.vim file in your repo. It's just a single file. vim-plug has been extremely stable and frequent upgrade is in my opinion not really necessary.

All right. Thanks for the help!
