Description
This is a followup to a golang-nuts thread.
I can import an arbitrary version of the module github.com/docker/docker (which lacks a go.mod file at all tagged versions in its repo) by specifying the version in the go.mod file. However, at least as of vgo 0a6cdd7, I can't obtain the same version using vgo get on one of the packages it contains.
/tmp/importdocker$ cat go.mod
module github.com/bcmills/importdocker
require github.com/docker/docker v1.13.1
/tmp/importdocker$ cat main.go
package main
import _ "github.com/docker/docker/client"
func main() {}
/tmp/importdocker$ vgo list -m | grep docker/docker
github.com/docker/docker v1.13.1
github.com/docker/docker-credential-helpers v0.0.0-20160906164316-f72c04f1d8e7
