Everyone I know who has learned Go has encountered this issue. "What's this GOPATH env variable? What should it be set to?" When I personally learned Go this (and how go do/doesn't do vendoring) was the hardest thing to learn. It's strange that it took this long to get this feature out. Now if they could figure out a way to get go get to work nicely with private repos out of the box without SSH config hacks that'd be great..
