 go @1.21.6 fails when running `go tool dist list`:

 {{{
 ❯ go tool dist list
 go tool dist: FAILED: not a Git repo; must put a VERSION file in $GOROOT
 }}}

 Possible patch:
 {{{
 ❯ git diff
 diff --git a/lang/go/Portfile b/lang/go/Portfile

 }}}

 I did my best to test with a local Portfile, and it seemed to work.  I'm
 unsure how to test the port variants though, first time looking at
 Portfiles.

 Thank you for your time.
