Composer Update: fatal: No such remote 'composer'

Problem: 

While working on a composer library for a client, I ran into an issue where running the command:

composer update

Caused an error to be printed on the screen that read:

fatal: No such remote 'composer'
Solution:

After playing around with it for some time, I went to the web to see if I could find any solutions. I found this thread.

The solution ended up that I needed to just remove the .git folder from the library while it resided in the vendor directory. (I actually just renamed it, but that seemed to do the same thing).
