Import path checking
When the custom import path feature described above redirects to a
known code hosting site, each of the resulting packages has two possible
import paths, using the custom domain or the known hosting site.
A package statement is said to have an "import comment" if it is immediately
followed (before the next newline) by a comment of one of these two forms:
package math // import "path"
package math /* import "path" * /
The go command will refuse to install a package with an import comment
unless it is being referred to by that import path. In this way, import comments
let package authors make sure the custom import path is used and not a
direct path to the underlying code hosting site.
See https://golang.org/s/go14customimport for details.
