What did you do?

Within go module directory I am trying to go get package using @tag specifier:

go get -v github.com/asaskevich/govalidator@v11

This repository has tag v11 but it does not have v11.X.Y tags which go requires to use as version since part after v isn't semver.

What did you expect to see?

go get: added github.com/asaskevich/govalidator v0.0.0-pseudo-tag-that-corresponds-to-v11-tag

Since v11 is a valid tag and not semver-compliant version, it is expected to behave in same way as any other tag that owner might want to use.
Or, if go treats v11 as valid version it should import package as github.com/asaskevich/govalidator/v11 despite v11 being invalid semver identifier.

What did you see instead?

go get github.com/asaskevich/govalidator@v11: no matching versions for query "v11"

vX is a version query bullet point 2

point 3:

Note that branches and tags with names matched by other version queries cannot be selected this way. For example, the query v2 selects the latest version starting with v2, not the branch named v2.

Closing as working as intended
