I can build Go from tip on Plan 9 using a local repo clone.  I want to  build it using a repo exported from a Linux box (via u9fs) -- because of codereview extensions and keeping a consistent repo.  Trying to build a remotely mounted clone, I get:

cpue% ./all.rc

# Building C bootstrap tool.

cmd/dist

# Building compilers and Go bootstrap tool for host, plan9/386.

*** failed to import extension codereview from $GOROOT/lib/codereview/codereview.py: [Errno 12] Invalid argument

abort: There is no Mercurial repository here (.hg not found)

you should disable the codereview plugin in .hg/hgrc.

another workaround is to create $GOROOT/VERSION file manually so that

the build process won't need mercurial. 

go tool dist: FAILED: /bin/hg identify -b: '/n/zotac/usr/local/go/VERSION.cache' does not exist

cpue% 

/n/zotac is the Linux filesystem that is served by u9fs. Any hints?
