I am tracking visitors not by the cookies but by explicitly populating the s.visitorID variable with unique visitor IDs on all pageviews.
Now, I want to get a New vs Repeat visitors report. I am aware of the getNewRepeat plugin which works using cookies.
Is there any Plugin for new vs repeat visitor report for tracking done by s.visitorID? If not, how can I get the New vs Repeat visitors report in a non-cookie based setup?
Please help with the same. Thanks in advance.

When a user logs in for the first time, set an eVar to 'New'. On subsequent logins, set the same eVar to 'Repeat'.

The getNewRepeat plugin creates a new cookie just to track that information. It will work with cookies or a custom visitorID because it is completely seperate (another cookie). If what you mean is that you aren't able or willing to use cookies at all, you will need a different mechanism to track whether a visitorID was just set (new visitor) or was already set (returning visitor) - emulating the way the plugin would normally work.
