This staging/src/k8s.io/client-go directory is the staging area of the client repo. It contains a versioned client, tools built around the client like the reflector, and all the client dependencies.

The staged content is copied from the main repo, i.e., k8s.io/kubernetes, with directory rearrangement and necessary rewritings. To sync the content with the latest code in your local k8s.io/kubernetes, you need to run `godep restore` in k8s root directory, then run staging/copy.sh. own repository.

Most code in the `staging/` directory is authoritative, i.e. the only copy of
the code. You can directly modify such code. However the packages in
`staging/src/k8s.io/client-go/pkg` are copied from `pkg/`. If you modify the
original code in `pkg/`, you need to run `hack/godep-restore.sh` from the k8s
root directory, followed by `hack/update-staging-client-go.sh`. We are working
towards making all code in `staging/` authoritative.
The `vendor/k8s.io` directory contains symlinks pointing to this staging area,
so to use a package in the staging area, you can import it as

vendored from `k8s.io/<package-name>` for real after the test matrix is
