cmd/go/internal/modfetch/gitrepo: Support "dumb http" transport

The "dumb http" git transport is useful to host git repositories on a
static HTTP(s) server. Unfortunately, using git fetch --depth against
them is not supported, and fails with the error:

  fatal: dumb http transport does not support shallow capabilities

vgo currently fails on such repositories because of this.

This patch makes vgo identify this error, and retry the fetch without
--depth.

Versioned Go Prototype (vgo)

This repository holds a prototype of what the go command might look like with integrated support for package versioning.

See research.swtch.com/vgo for documents about the design.

Download/Install

Use go get -u golang.org/x/vgo.

You can also manually git clone the repository to $GOPATH/src/golang.org/x/vgo.

Report Issues / Send Patches

See CONTRIBUTING.md.

This is still a very early prototype. You are likely to run into bugs. Please file bugs in the main Go issue tracker, golang.org/issue, and put the prefix x/vgo: in the issue title.

Thank you.
