dep ensure exits with status zero when it does nothing

[dcheney-atlassian]

% mkdir $GOPATH/src/github.com/atlassian/demo
% cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/atlassian/demo
% git init
% dep init
% echo $?
0

So, this succeeded ? Turns out no

% cat lock.json 
{
    "memo": "dab02b24a752518fc799f3b27b2049c636953aabf69ad62eeb5f354c610bba7c",
    "projects": []
}

hmm, no client-go here

% cat manifest.json 
{
    "dependencies": {
        "k8s.io/client-go": {
            "version": "^2.0.0"
        }
    }
}

but it is here

% ls vendor/
%

but the vendor directory is empty.

How can I make dep download the version 2.0.0 of the k8s/client-go library so I can use it?

hiya, thanks for the issue! The real issue here is poor feedback, which...we know, working on it :) But see #352 for more explanation. (Closing this, as we have tickets open already to address it)
