Well, I was using Pathogen previous to Vundle, and the advantage Vundle is supposed to have over Pathogen is that it can update all the plugins in one go. If it's not doing that from its own vim-scripts mirror, I suppose Vundle users will just have to add a plugin's original git repository instead, and if a plugin isn't using git, update it manually just like in old times.

I did that already, still don't have a response to it after 20 days.
