Unauthenticated git no longer supported

The following command is no longer functional:
pip install "git+git://github.com/erikwijmans/Pointnet2_PyTorch.git#egg=pointnet2_ops&subdirectory=pointnet2_ops_lib"

Hi there. I found it's possible to manually replicate that operation:

git clone https://github.com/erikwijmans/Pointnet2_PyTorch.git
cp -r Pointnet2_PyTorch/pointnet2_ops_lib pointnet2_ops_lib
rm -rf Pointnet2_PyTorch
pip install pointnet2_ops_lib/

Still haven't checked out the real difference (code runs exactly fine). I hope this would be helpful to the future reproduction of this paper (since it's 7 months since your comment).
