What did you do?

I ran go help get.

What did you see happen?

I got a bunch of help text output, but none explains the -d flag. In the output, it says "usage: go get [-t] [-u] [-v] [build flags] [packages]", which kind-of hints at "build flags" being available, but there is no indication which of them are.

What did you expect to see?

Starting with go help get, I should be able to explore (maybe with additional calls to go help ..) the valid set of flags.
