Gopkg.toml source option invalid

[eddycjy]

What version of dep are you using (dep version)?

dep:
 version     : devel
 build date  : 
 git hash    : 
 go version  : go1.9
 go compiler : gc
 platform    : linux/amd64

What dep command did you run?

1. Gopkg.toml :

[[constraint]]
  name = "golang.org/x/text"
  source = "https://github.com/golang/text.git"

2. main.go (test) :

package main

import (
    "golang.org/x/text/date"
)

func main() {
    date.EtcUTC
}

3. Run Command :
   dep ensure

What did you expect to see?

I hope that after the source option is configured golang.org/x/text pulls resources from https://github.com/golang/text.git

What did you see instead?

Chinese area golang.org connection is ban, in the case of not using VPN, I configured the source option, hope that through this configuration to pull resources from github, but failed, why ?

error:

The following issues were found in Gopkg.toml:

  ✗ unable to deduce repository and source type for "golang.org/x/text": unable to read metadata: unable to fetch raw metadata: failed HTTP request to URL "http://golang.org/x/text?go-get=1": Get http://golang.org/x/text?go-get=1: dial tcp 216.239.37.1:80: getsockopt: connection timed out

same problem.
dep tool's purpose is to resolve the dependency problem.
Many guys in China have the GFW problem.

I add code like this.
the mirror rule can use getProjectConstraint to parse,like dep ensure -add

Dep was officially deprecated earlier this year, and the proposal to archive this repository was accepted. As such, I'm closing outstanding issues before archiving the repository. For any further comments, please use the proposal thread on the Go issue tracker. Thanks!
