Protobuf: Cannot install package

[leduy99]

When I install the protobuf through go get, I received this message:
"- go get "github.com/golang/protobuf/proto"

• package github.com/golang/protobuf/proto: /home/leduy99/Go/src/github.com/golang/protobuf exists but /home/leduy99/Go/src/github.com/golang/protobuf/.git does not - stale checkout?"
  How can I fix this? Thanks a lot :smile:

Hi, it seems that you already have copy the protobuf repo already downloaded into $GOPATH/src/github.com/golang/protobuf/proto that was not cloned from git? If you have no local changes, you could probably just delete $GOPATH/src/github.com/golang/protobuf and rerun go get github.com/golang/protobuf/proto.
