Comment 1:

Give your repository a better name. I suggest not using 'go' suffix/prefix and no
punctuation. (I have yet to see a C project at github named 'whatever.c')

Comment 2:

I agree. This is a poor name choice, somewhat like naming a file "-r" and then
complaining that  "rm -r" didn't remove it.
It's unfortunate but rooting out all the places that would need to understand a
directory suffixed .go isn't going to be fun.

Status changed to Unfortunate.
