TODO: Explain versions better. When checking out or updating a package, get looks for a branch or
tag that matches the locally installed version of Go. If the local
version "is release.rNN", it searches for "go.rNN". (For an
installation using Go version "weekly.YYYY-MM-DD", it searches for a
package version labeled "go.YYYY-MM-DD".) If the desired version
cannot be found but others exist with labels in the correct format,
get retrieves the most recent version before the desired label.
Finally, if all else fails it retrieves the most recent version of
the package.
