Composer: "Repository Type Is Not Registered: Git"

Out of the blue, my Composer is throwing a fit when I try and install a local repository (having worked perfectly for the past 3 months) using composer install
The error:
[InvalidArgumentException] Repository type is not registered: git
The offending block in the composer.json file:
"repositories": [
{
"type": "git",
"url": "[email protected]:/xxx/yyy.git"
}
],
I've tried completed removing and re-installing composer and changing the 'type' from 'git' to 'github' and 'vcs' as per the official docs. Nothing has helped so far.

My colleague has informed me that this is the cause...
Try with vcs instead of git, as example:
"repositories": [
{
"type": "vcs",
"url": "[email protected]:/xxx/yyy.git"
}
],
Hope this help
like already mentioned, symfony/flex seemed to be broken (v. v1.0.81?)
and composer uses symfony-flex-plugin
so composer install was working only with the parameter --no-plugins
when i used that:
a new flex version was installed and my project dependencies where installed, but the absence of plugins luckily failed afterwards only with symfony-cmd: command not found
But since 'flex' was updated composer install was working fine again (plugins working too)
