How can constraints be added automatically for new imported packages?

[CameronGo]

When I run dep init on a project for the first time, it appears to add all of the direct dependencies to my manifest file with constraints defined. As the project changes; however, and new packages are added to the imports, running dep ensure -update doesn't seem to add these new direct dependencies to the manifest file with constraints. They obviously do get added to the lock file. I also can obviously run dep ensure -add and explicitly add new direct dependencies, but it seems to me that if dep automatically populated the original manifest with imported packages, that there should be a way to effectively "refresh" that.

I haven't run / tried dep init b/c I'm under the impression it is intended only for the first time execution.

Is there a way to do this, or am I missing something about the intended use here?

We have an feature request in #1670 to fix this usability gap. So no, we don't support it yet but it's a great suggestion!

I am going to close this issue in favor of that one. Please comment there if you have suggestions for the feature.
