revel new is broken behind a corporate proxy

Scenario:

$ echo $http_proxy $https_proxy
http://squid-proxy.mycompany.com:80 http://squid-proxy.mycompany.com:80
$ revel -v new -a github.com/myid/myrepo
INFO  08:50:37 command_config.go:140: Returned import path                     path=github.com/myid/myrepo buildpath=/home/myid/go

The process just hangs, going no-where.

SSH access (and therefore git clone git://) is also behind a socks proxy - the likely culprit here.

You might want to consider using git clone https:// which might work better in a http/https proxy environment.

In the next release the default method is git clone https:// ...
