pip ignores --global-option and --install-options when installing from a VCS url

See original GitHub issue

Environment

pip version: 10.0.1
Python version: 3.6.5
OS: Linux

Description pip 10.0.1 ignores --install-options installing from git+git://

Likely related to

https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/5251

$ pip install --ignore-installed --no-deps --install-option="--prefix=/tmp/test-install" git+git://github.com/bccp/nbodykit

$ ls /tmp/test-install
ls: cannot access '/tmp/test-install': No such file or directory

However, installing from zip works:

$ pip install --ignore-installed --no-deps --install-option="--prefix=/tmp/test-install" http://github.com/bccp/nbodykit/archive/master.zip

$ ls /tmp/test-install
lib

Expected behavior installing from VCS shall be no different than from a zip file.

How to Reproduce See above.

Output
