Description

The two plugins above have a dependency tag that downloads from the registry.

Cordova 3.0.0 doesn't have support for downloading from the registry.

If someone with cordova 3.0.0 installs the file-transfer plugin (using the git url since that was the suggested way for 3.0), it will fail in installing the dependency due to lack of registry support.

Suggestions
Bump the major version of these plugins and set engine tag to 3.1.0
Change 3.0 docs to suggest downloading based of 3.0.0 tag instead of from master. Ex. cordova plugin add https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/cordova-plugin-file-transfer.git#3.0.0 (I am having trouble with this right now, figuring out why)
