First off: cool!

A few thoughts:

* This only works with Git. It doesn't look it'd be much work to make it work for all 4.

* This only pins deps you've declared; that set may or may not contain transitive deps. If it's not complete, the transitive deps will be frozen, forever, until you blow them out of your GOPATH.

* Issue #3 looks fun.

Thanks! it was pretty fun to get it working, I'm glad you like it.

* Yeah, we use git internally, but we should definitely add support for other vcs when we can squeeze the time for it.

* True, I purposely kept this as simple as possible and forcing people to keep a complete Godeps file didn't sound like a terrible tradeoff (I actually like that it makes it that explicit).

* Issue #3 will have me scratching my head for quite some time, but I'll find a way!

Thanks so much for the feedback!

I'm a sometimes-coder at VividCortex. Yeah, there are endless potential issues with this that make it a non-general solution. I mean, it works for us -- so far -- but it's easy to find cases where it won't. What if package X wants version 1.0 of package Y, and package Z wants a different version? Oops.
