dep init: doesn't recognise symlinked project

[klrkdekira]

I'm not sure if this is a bug, but fixing this will be a great quality of life improvement.

What version of Go are you using (go version)?
go version go1.8 darwin/amd64

What operating system and processor architecture are you using?
macOS Sierra 10.12.3 (darwin amd64)

What did you do?
GOPATH is set at ~/gopath

I was working on a project that accessed via a symlink as provided below.

Full GOPATH

~/gopath/src/github.com/klrkdekira/myproject

Symlinked path

$ pwd
~/myproject

What did you expect to see?
dep init works.

What did you see instead?
This.

After invoking cd -P it just works.

Symlinks are tough - just in general, but also in particular because we have limited wiggle room to deal with them when a) the go toolchain already has strong opinions about them and b) we're still so sensitive to GOPATH for naming (e.g. #313).

Still, we have #247 going, which I hope we can merge soon, at least in the spirit of experimentation.

I have a same problem

#247 is merged, so closing this :)
