Conflict with new_go_repository()

[junghoahnsc]

When some of go_proto_repositories likecom_github_golang_protobuf and org_golang_x_net are automatically imported by the dependencies of new_go_repository(), there are conflicts like

ERROR: /usr/local/share/users/jungho.ahn/cache/bazel/_bazel_jungho.ahn/c8d993de066bb9ba420445c3170a1d5a/external/org_pubref_rules_protobuf/go/BUILD:5:1: no such target '@com_github_golang_protobuf//:protoc_gen_go': target 'protoc_gen_go' not declared in package '' defined by /usr/local/share/users/jungho.ahn/cache/bazel/_bazel_jungho.ahn/c8d993de066bb9ba420445c3170a1d5a/external/com_github_golang_protobuf/BUILD and referenced by '@org_pubref_rules_protobuf//go:go'.
ERROR: /home/jungho.ahn/work/snapcraft/snapcraft/snapcraft_serving/proto/BUILD:14:1: no such target '@com_github_golang_protobuf//:proto': target 'proto' not declared in package ''; however, a source directory of this name exists.  (Perhaps add 'exports_files(["proto"])' to /BUILD, or define a filegroup?) defined by /usr/local/share/users/jungho.ahn/cache/bazel/_bazel_jungho.ahn/c8d993de066bb9ba420445c3170a1d5a/external/com_github_golang_protobuf/BUILD and referenced by '//proto:style_deployment_proto_go'.
ERROR: Analysis of target '//proto:style_deployment_proto_go' failed; build aborted.

This is because the BUILD files in protobuf/build_file and go/rules.bzl are using specific library names while the generated Go BUILD files by new_go_repository() are using go_default_library name.

Is there any work around for this?

1. Option 1: You can suppress loading of specific go_proto_repositories deps according to https://github.com/pubref/rules_protobuf#overriding-or-excluding-workspace-dependencies, however I don't think this will completely solve the problem as the target names are different and there may be residual unmet label dependencies.
2. Await Switch to new_go_repository. #16 that seeks to switch over the go deps in this repo to new_go_repository. This is probably the way to go.

I tried 1), but it doesn't fix the issue as you said.
I'll wait #16.

Thanks!

new_go_repository is now the default in v0.7.0 (4b2d8fe)
