Reduce size of repository

[surajnarwade]

We can reduce size of repo by polulating vendor directory after cloning the repo.

Current size of repo:

$ du -sh kedge/
737M	kedge/

After removing vendor,

$ du -sh kedge/
87M	kedge/

Is 737M the size when we first clone the repo?

If we remove vendor from git, it is not guaranteed that we can build Kedge.

Kedge depends on a lot of libraries (transitively because of Kubernetes an OpenShift). What if some of the libraries are deleted from github? Or tag or commit we depend on is deleted? Then it won't be possible to build Kedge.

By having vendor in git we can always be sure that we can build Kedge regarding what happens with any of the libraries.

Yeah, vendor is required. Look at kubernetes/kubernetes, I think mine's near 1gig.
