Use a fixed abbreviation size in
git describe
output
Currently, this setting depends on whatever the user of `godep` has in their `git config --get core.abbrev`, if it is set. Even when it is not set, the number of characters used in the shortened git commit will depend on whether there are collisions for that prefix on the local repository (which in large part depends on how much activity exists there.) As a result, when multiple users are maintaining Godeps/ for a single project, many spurious changes to Godeps/Godeps.json are generated due to the lack of stability in the length of the abbreviated commit in output of `git describe`. Let's fix this by enforcing a reasonable abbreviation length in godep's use of `git describe`. 14 characters is very unlikely to result in collisions for prefixes.
