I like it.

What about this variant:

GO_DEPS+= github.com/user/repo:sha1:dir

I moved the GitHub into the variable value, to have more lowercase letters and because it matches the Godeps file.

I moved the :dir to the end, so that the three fields are in chronological order: where from, what exactly, where to. And to have the optional field at the end.

I prefer a uniform field separator. Isn't there some Make feature to access the n'th word of a variable? Like ${dep:S,:, ,g:[2]}? I think it's easier to read than the :C modifier.

Best,
Roland
