dep ensure freeze when trying to connect to no longer existing repo

[nattawitc]

My project use github.com/tj/go-debug which used to exist and can be dep ensure just fine before. But when I try to dep ensure again, it just freeze with no indication of what happen, is it still running or trying or just freezed. I have to check htop to see ssh git@github.com git-upload-pack '/tj/go-debug' is running constantly because this repository is not there anymore.

I propose that there should be some mechanism to determine the existence of repo first before trying to do anything else.

I hit this issue as well, after someone deleted a repo I depend on, and can confirm seeing ssh git@github.com git-upload-pack '<name of non-existing repo>' just hanging in the process tree.

Now I know why my build in the CI have been unexplainedly broken and erroring out due to timeouts.. this seems like an oversight the size of a football field.

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!
