[pkg-go] dh-golang-make fails with git error

[Jacob Marble]

>From a fresh unstable VM, I tried to get some practice using
dh-make-golang so that I can eventually package my own project. This
seems like the kind of thing that is obvious to someone, but I'm
stumped.

I'm following Michael's guide at
https://people.debian.org/~stapelberg/2015/07/27/dh-make-golang.html
