workflow: moving from gvt to dep

[nathany]

What version of Go are you using (go version)?

What operating system and processor architecture are you using?

go version go1.8.3 darwin/amd64
dep v0.1.0-ish 7885eae (Tue May 30)
gvt (Nov 18 2016)

What did you do?

dep init an existing project

What did you expect to see?

Utilizing my old vendor/manifest (gvt) to lock things in without a huge diff in my vendor folder?

Well maybe I didn't really expect to see that, but something along those lines would be nice. 😉

I'd like to switch to dep without huge changes to the dependencies in the project so that those can be upgraded incrementally. Also, I think that will help with team buy-in of a new tool.

What did you see instead?

Following dependencies were not found in GOPATH. Dep will use the most recent versions of these projects.
  github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go
  github.com/go-resty/resty
  github.com/gorilla/handlers
  github.com/icrowley/fake
  github.com/sethgrid/pester
  github.com/twinj/uuid
  github.com/pmezard/go-difflib

So I undid the changes dep made, fetched those repos and tried gvt restore. Then I got some new ones:

Following dependencies were not found in GOPATH. Dep will use the most recent versions of these projects.
  github.com/go-ini/ini
  github.com/jmespath/go-jmespath

After all that, I'm still seeing a huge diff in my vendor folder. I think that's an issue with gvt restore or my expectations of it. It doesn't seem to be using the commit SHAs in my vendor/manifest to make the repositories in my $GOPATH align with what's in vendor.

Scanning the files below reveals that the commit SHAs don't align.
