Hello,

My company is trying to use circleci for continuous integration. The projects of it are developed in go on [Github.com](http://Github.com).  
When the hook for `go get` fires off, the URLs to the repositories are wrong or not working in the build environment.  
The script (or the go utilities) uses [github.com/organization/private-repo](http://github.com/organization/private-repo) instead of [github.com/organization/private-repo.git](http://github.com/organization/private-repo.git) as repository urls. Github then reports an error that the repository can not be found. Cloning the repos with .git works just fine, as is using `go get` with the repository URL ending in `.git`. I think this might be a problem with the build environment. Using `go get` without the URL ending in .git works fine on my workstation and those of other developers. Please advise (or upgrade the golang version, if that fixes the issue).

Regards,  
Thermus
