Installing Version Control Tools for go get

The go get fetching of source code is done by using one of the following tools expected to be found on your system:

• svn - Subversion, download at: http://subversion.apache.org/packages.html
• hg - Mercurial, download at https://www.mercurial-scm.org/downloads
• git - Git, download at http://git-scm.com/downloads
• bzr - Bazaar, download at http://wiki.bazaar.canonical.com/Download

For example, git is used for GitHub, hg is used for Bitbucket, etc.
