+Since imports of dependencies use the absolute path github.com/grafana/grafana within the $GOPATH,
+you will need to put your version of the code in $GOPATH/src/github.com/grafana/grafana to be able
+to develop and build grafana on a cloned repository. To do so, you can clone your forked repository
+directly to $GOPATH/src/github.com/grafana or you can create a symbolic link from your version
