Description

Currently the cordova platform add <platform>@<version> is only working with the --usenpm option enabled.

I think --usenpm is disabled by default (?) so this feature will appear broken to most users. I've pinpointed the problem to this peace of code where for the cordova_git function the @version check is missing, resulting in a "Platform not recognized" error when the platform includes a version code.

I hope I can find some time to sign the ICLA and send a pull request. In general it seems that the whole @version check could be handled more elegantly, right now it's duplicated in several places making it easy to forget to add it somewhere.
