I've needed to find out this kind of info lots of times in the past.
I wrote a small tool named "showdeps" that includes the capability
to find out why a dependency is present.
You can run "showdeps -why somepackage" to find out why there
is a dependency on somepackage, which prints a line showing
each package involved in the dependency and the packages
that depend on it.
You can also use the "..." wildcard to find out dependencies
on a whole repo; for example "showdeps -why github.com/foo/bar/..."
would print out all dependencies involved in the chain from
the current package to any package below github.com/foo/bar.
With large dependency projects, I find this quite a bit easier than
trying to work out the linkage by inspecting the whole graph.
To get showdeps:
go get github.com/rogpeppe/showdeps
Hope this helps,
rog.
