go get gopkg.in/gomail.v1无法获取gomail模块

Question

I am trying to get gomail via gopkg.in/gomail.v1 but my connection just stays hanging. In other words, on my console, when I type:

[developer@machine gocode]$ go get gopkg.in/gomail.v1

I get nothing
However in the /gocode/src/gopkg.in directory, I see a directory named gomail.v1 with nothing inside..

Answer 1

I hope this will help others. I spent almost 3 hours figuring this out. Apparently,

[developer@machine gocode]$ go get gopkg.in/wantedpackage

will not not work with git version < 1.7.9.5. The trick is to upgrade your git version. I upgraded my git version to 1.7.12.4 and it works.
