In this case move them to a separate package/project.
As an example, create a git repository in
$GOPATH/src/github.com/$USER/project/
Use this git repository for the main development,
and tag your versions with tags and branches.
Then in your application, clone the repository in
vendor/src/github.com/$USER
In this case you have full control over the version used, and you can
also modify the code and pull/push changes to the original repository.
For your first project, probably all the development will be in the
cloned repository, and you will push the changes to the original
repository once the code is stable and needs to be used by other
projects.
Another solution is to put the reusable components in an internal
package (of your application), and once you like the code you move it
to a new project.
I like this one, because it will allow you to start with a draft.

Go does not support cyclic dependencies, and I don't see how package
management is related to cyclic dependencies.

Yes.
It is specified in the documentation
gb vendor help fetch
You can specify a tag, branch or exact revision.
