go get fails to update due to "go1" tag #15

Closed jeremyricharddavies closed 11 years ago

The go get utility does not get the latest master branch (with -u) because there is a "go1" tag in the repo.

"When checking out or updating a package, get looks for a branch or tag that matches the locally installed version of Go. The most important rule is that if the local installation is running version "go1", get searches for a branch or tag named "go1". If no such version exists it retrieves the most recent version of the package."

Are you using go1.0 or go1.1?

jeremyricharddavies commented 11 years ago

I have go1.1.1

Hey, that's odd, thanks for finding this out!

I just dropped the tag. It made sense some months ago but go1.1+ has been around a while.
