I don&#x27;t think the issue was with specifying the version in the package address.  It is that you need to use a 3rd party, remote service, to redirect your requests to the appropriate git repo and branch.<p>This is because Go doesn&#x27;t support specifying branches&#x2F;tags itself when specifying a git dependency.<p>This workaround is contingent on gopkg.in people keeping their service maintained and running.  If they went down, all your dependencies would break.
