fatal: not a git repository, when using 'dir' with the existent directory

[igorepst]

Hello. I'm trying to install fzf executable to /opt/fzf to make it shared between the users.
Like so:
Plug 'junegunn/fzf', { 'dir': '/opt/fzf', 'do': './install --all' }
Beforehand I created the /opt/fzf directory and did chown on it (as only root may write by default to /opt)
However, I got:

x fzf:
    fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
    PlugClean required.

If I add another level to 'dir', like opt/fzf/fzf, effectively pointing to non-existent directory, it works. So, my question is whether it is possible to use an existent empty directory.
Thanks

This is currently not supported (checked for safety), but I think it makes sense to allow it when the directory is completely empty.
