../go/src/github.com/go-git/go-git/remote.go:9:2: code in directory /home/simon/go/src/github.com/go-git/go-billy/osfs expects import "github.com/go-git/go-billy/v5/osfs"

On investigation, https://github.com/go-git/go-billy/v5/osfs does not exist but https://github.com/go-git/go-billy/osfs does. Suggest this is bit-rot caused by the upstream package changing its directory structure?

Hi @simon-brooke - thanks for reporting this, I'm having difficulty reproducing. Could you share the version of go you are using, or perhaps try again as there have been some commits (I believe) modifying the package dependencies since this issue was opened?

I reported a bug that was filed as a duplicate of this. In my case:

$ go version
go version go1.10.4 linux/amd64

@federico-razzoli
The version the mod and sum are built on is go 1.13.(at least that is what the go.mod leads me to believe) If you update your system to version 1.13 or later it might fix the problem

Recent versions now no longer depend on go-git (and use libgit2 instead), a dependency of which was likely causing this issue. I'm going to close this out for the time being
