+_If `go get -u path/to/dependency` fails with compilation errors, instead try `go get -d -u path/to/dependency`

+_If hack/verify-godeps.sh fails after a `godep update`, it is possible that a transitive dependency was added or removed but not

 It is sometimes expedient to manually fix the /Godeps/godeps.json file to minimize the changes.
