   dev.boringcrypto.go1.13
   dev.boringcrypto.go1.14
   dev.boringcrypto.go1.15
   dev.boringcrypto.go1.16
gvm install dev.boringcrypto.go1.16 --name=go1.16b
Installing dev.boringcrypto.go1.16 as go1.16b...

go1.16b successfully installed!

And since branches can change over time, also allows force-updating source in install with --update-source so the following works:

gvm uninstall go1.16b && gvm install dev.boringcrypto.go1.16 --update-source --name=go1.16b

Hi @BenKnigge, I found it useful to be able to install and manage go builds from branches as well as tags, and the change was pretty minimal. Thought I'd share it here in case it would be useful for other people as well.
