Hi! 

On https://pkg.go.dev/cmd/go#hdr-Remote_import_paths, in the section
about using meta tags to redirect from some domain to a known forge, it
says:

> For example,
> 
> `import "example.org/pkg/foo"`
> 
> will result in the following requests:
> 
> `https://example.org/pkg/foo?go-get=1` 
> 
> If that page contains the meta tag 
>
> `<meta name="go-import" content="example.org git 
> https://code.org/r/p/exproj";>`
> 
> the go tool will verify that https://example.org/?go-get=1 contains
> the same meta tag and then git clone https://code.org/r/p/exproj into
> GOPATH/src/example.org.

This is confusing me. I get that https://example.org/pkg/foo?go-get=1
should have a meta tag of this form:

```
<meta name="go-import" content="example.org git https://code.org/r/p/exproj";>
```

But what meta tag should the / page have? The same? Then just doing this
with static files (which I vastly prefer) is not possible. It's also
unclear what purpose this has (or why the request to /pkg/foo is made).

Can anybody shed some light?

Best,
Tobias
