Thanks for the suggestions. I may not have explained the setup well enough. I don't think your suggestions work if you just have your code in a folder without any additional structure (no src directory). But your first suggestion prompted my to play around with having the package in a GOPATH and I realized that my problem is much less specific than I thought, since go get -u also does not work with local packages (no vc or no git remote origin). So I guess I jumped to a much too specific conclusion and problem statement.
I should restate the issue as: The go tool does not provide a way to update dependencies of packages that are not go get-able. Inside or outside GOPATH has nothing to do with it.
