google.golang.org/cloud/compute/metadata dependency

[tcurdt]

I did

go get golang.org/x/oauth2

when I now try to import it

import (
    "golang.org/x/oauth2/google"
)

I am getting

src/golang.org/x/oauth2/google/google.go:25:2: cannot find package "google.golang.org/cloud/compute/metadata" in any of:
    /usr/local/Cellar/go/1.4.1/libexec/src/google.golang.org/cloud/compute/metadata (from $GOROOT)
    MYPROJECT/src/google.golang.org/cloud/compute/metadata (from $GOPATH)

Of course a

go get google.golang.org/cloud/compute/metadata

fixed this - but...

You ran "go get" on the oauth2 package, which of course did not fetch the google package's dependencies. This is how the go tool works.

If you ran

go get golang.org/x/oauth2/google

or

go get golang.org/x/oauth2/...

it would have fetched those dependencies.
