I'm having trouble installing flask-mongoengine via a requirements.txt file. Following are the steps:

* In my requirements file is `-e git+https://github.com/sbook/flask-mongoengine/tarball/master#egg=Flask-MongoEngine`
* Running pip install -r requirements.txt gives me:

```
fatal: https://github.com/sbook/flask-mongoengine/tarball/master/info/refs not found: did you run git update-server-info on the server?
```
* I can do a `pip install https://github.com/sbook/flask-mongoengine` without any problems

I also got a certificate related error, which I basically circumvented:

```error: SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK. Details:
error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed while accessing https://github.com/sbook/flask-mongoengine/tarball/master/info/refs
```
Circumvented by setting `export GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY=true` prior to running `pip install -r requirements.txt`

Any ideas on how requirements.txt can be facilitated for flask-mongoengine installation? Thanks much.
