Why does client_golang pull in a second copy of google protobuf?

[ggilley]

This package has a lot of dependencies. So I was browsing them (using GitHub insights) looking to see what was used. I see this listed as a dependency:

hkspirt / google_protobuf google.golang.org/protobuf 1.26.0-rc.1

It seems to be a copy of the google protobuf library with a couple of changes? What's it used for?

I guess this has been pulled in by a requirement of an indirect dependency. It doesn't seem cool to use an RC.

@SuperQ @kakkoyun this happened in #875 . Perhaps you have noticed anything?

Actually, #881 is already out there fixing this.

Fixed by #881.
