Dep: Document the prune command

Created on 21 Jul 2017  路  4Comments  路  Source: golang/dep

Once #819 is merged, let's add documentation for subpackages to the README and explain how dep treats them. It's a bit confusing right now (before the ensure overhaul) that the lock lists the subpackages but they aren't automatically removed by dep. You must run dep prune to get rid of unused subpackages from vendor.

Yes, prune needs its own docs. Though they should also include a note - on both the CLI and whatever we write elsewhere - that we plan to subsume prune into ensure.

@stephenafamo Yes, please that would be very helpful! 鉂わ笍

i'm gonna close this one out, as we're on the verge of getting rid of prune anyway.
