$GOROOT_BOOTSTRAP should not be required to install go1.4.2

It looks like I’m unable to install go1.4.2 using the current version of gvm (v1.0.22)

$GOROOT_BOOTSTRAP should only be required if installing 1.5

I was getting this same error when trying to install go1.4.1, and this solved it: https://github.com/moovweb/gvm/issues/124

Basically, I installed git using homebrew, then updated my zshrc (it'd be the same with bash) to point to the new path, which is to say, I added /usr/local/git/bin: to the beginning of my path.

I just installed go1.4.2 and had no problems either.

moovweb / gvm
