gimme --resolve [version] hangs on some variations of [version]

[thaJeztah]

I noticed this when writing up an issue in actions/setup-go#82

Reproduced on:

gimme --version
v1.5.4

(running on macOS, installed through Homebrew)

These work fine: gimme resolves a version, prints, and terminates:

gimme --resolve 1.x
1.15.3

gimme --resolve 1.15
1.15

gimme --resolve stable
1.15.3

However, trying any of the ones below, gimme hangs, and requires me to terminate with ^C:

gimme --resolve 1
1
^C

gimme --resolve go1.15
go1.15
^C


gimme --resolve master
master
^C

Definitely not a high priority issue, but I thought I'd report

That'd likely be because it's building Go from source (at least in your latter two cases - not sure what's going on with 1 unless it somehow interpreted that as a short commit ID?)

That being said, I'm not very active as a maintainer on this repo, so I'm probably not going to be much help. 😅

Ah, possibly

No worries, it was really just that I noticed the behavior, and it was a small effort to at least report it 😅

If you wanted to dig deeper, I'd suggest running it through `bash -x` to see which command it's hanging on.
