Ian Lance Taylor f03b3350b7 godoc: don't try to follow all symlinks
Revert https://golang.org/cl/45096.

Original change description:
    godoc: follow symbolic links to folders in GOROOT

    Directory walking in godoc relies on ReadDir which returns the result
    of os.Lstat.

    Instead make the the OS VFS's ReadDir use os.Stat on symlinks before
    returning.

Updates golang/go#15049
Fixes golang/go#21061

godoc

This directory contains most of the code for running a godoc server. The executable lives at golang.org/x/tools/cmd/godoc.

Development mode

In production, CSS/JS/template assets need to be compiled into the godoc binary. It can be tedious to recompile assets every time, but you can pass a flag to load CSS/JS/templates from disk every time a page loads:

godoc -templates=$GOPATH/src/golang.org/x/tools/godoc/static -http=:6060

Recompiling static assets

The files that live at static/style.css, static/jquery.js and so on are not present in the final binary. They are placed into static/static.go by running go generate. So to compile a change and test it in your browser:

  1. Make changes to e.g. static/style.css.

  2. Run go generate golang.org/x/tools/godoc/static so static/static.go picks up the change.

  3. Run go install golang.org/x/tools/cmd/godoc so the compiled godoc binary picks up the change.

  4. Run godoc -http=:6060 and view your changes in the browser. You may need to disable your browser's cache to avoid reloading a stale file.
