cmd/go mod falls to download dependencies due to git not using ssh

[lukaskurz]

What version of Go are you using (go version)?

$ go version go1.11.2 linux/amd64

Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?

Yes

What operating system and processor architecture are you using (go env)?

What did you do?

export GO111MODULE=on in the project folder
go mod download

The repo I am pulling off is a private one and due to having 2FA i can only properly pull using ssh, not https.

What did you expect to see?

I expected it to work and download all dependencies. Apparently git failed pulling, but does not log that into the output.

What did you see instead?

$ go: finding gitlab.com/mygroup/myfolder v0.0.1
$ gitlab.com/mygroup/myfolder v0.0.1 unknown revision

$ go: error loading module requirements

How did you fix it

After pulling the problematic repo manually, I noticed that git failed pulling, so I added one of the git hacks, where it changes https://gitlab.com to git@gitlab.com. This seemed to have fixed the problem. I think go mod should have a more verbose output, or a verbose option where it logs, that git is failing to pull.
