gopkg.in/* redirect doesnt work with git v2.11.1

[apoorvam]

The import path for this package is gopkg.in/*, which is normally supposed to be "github.com/go-check/check".

With the new version of Git v2.11.1 the redirects should be explicitly enabled. Details. Its not possible to do in certain cases like remote agents.

Doing go get github.com/go-check/check works, however godep looks for master branch to have the library code. This is not the case here and is on a branch v1.

Why is this even redirected via gopkg.in and how to resolve this issue?

Should be fixed now by a change in gopkg.in niemeyer/gopkg#50
