I am trying to run some git module tests right now and it appears to be down for me.

We are aware of the issue still and apologize. There are some unforeseen internal issues that are still being worked out.

@andybons Thanks for the update.

I don't have a lot of context on why these tests use vcs-test.golang.org. Do we need to have these tests talk to a vcs server on the internet or can the tests just start this server themselves? If the server can be ran locally I would think that would be better than having them rely on the availability of vcs-test.golang.org.
