Go allows for Git, Mercurial and Bazaar. This is a good idea since it 
obviates the "but you are not using the DVCS I want to use" problem.

The problem with Git is versioning. Gradle, Maven, Herd (Ceylon 
package repository) handle this easily. Go has a real problem with 
this and Gustavo created a versioning strategy that works well. cf.
