What version of Go (go version) and dep (git describe --tags) are you using?

E:\Installs\go-tools\src\github.com\golang\dep (master)
λ go version
go version go1.8.3 windows/amd64

E:\Installs\go-tools\src\github.com\golang\dep (master)
λ git describe --tags
v0.3.0-162-gf134697

What dep command did you run?

E:\workspace\golang\src\github.com\golang\dep (master)
λ dep ensure

What did you expect to see?

I like to differentiate the Go tools I use with Go like gometalinter and install them to a separate location than %gopath%. I did the same with dep(installed to E:\Installs\go-tools). I was expecting that the cache would be stored in this Go workspace(E:\Installs\go-tools\pkg\dep).

What did you see instead?

The cache was generated in %gopath%/pkg/dep and not relative to the actual installation path of dep. While this is by no means a serious issue, this can negatively affect performance for anybody who uses multiple go workspaces. I think it will be better to have a cache location which is independent of the %gopath%. I apologise if this is a known limitation or if it has been reported already.
