I suspect the annoyance of this will disappear when the team trying to standardize this actually succeeds, and then it is always the same metadata files.

How about an implied metadata file when you specify package versions on the `go get` command line but nowhere in source code or metadata files. Would such a tradeoff work?| go get-u github.com/spf13/cobra:v1.10.0\ github.com/spf13/viper:v0.10.0\ github.com/pelletier/go-toml:v0.3.4 |This has a drawback that dependent packages are going to be installed as their latest versions, so the ordering is important.
If I can't source control it, I don't think it will work.
The reason for asking this question is that in recent months tools like `glide` (https://github.com/Masterminds/glide) gained popularity and some third-party packages require you to do `glide up` to populate it properly in addition / instead of the regular `go get`. This means that for a package that uses such a glided package, you'd need to create a Makefile (or shell script) with a `glide up` and other non-`go` commands in it (which is ugly).
Again, hopefully the dependency management team will make some headway. Then we might see an evolution of the standard tools.
