Hi,

Are the instructions in https://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/get-the-code/working-with-nested-repos up-to-date? I'm following them for the http://src.chromium.org/svn case, where I'm trying to make a patch for third_party/flac.

The command lines I ran was:

$ export DIR=flac

$ cd third_party/${DIR}

$ git svn init --prefix=origin/ -T trunk/deps/third_party/${DIR} http://src.chromium.org/svn

$ git config svn-remote.svn.fetch trunk/deps/third_party/${DIR}:refs/remotes/origin/master

$ git config svn-remote.svn.pushurl svn://svn.chromium.org/chrome

$ git svn info

Done rebuilding .git/svn/refs/remotes/origin/master/.rev_map.0039d316-1c4b-4281-b951-d872f2087c98

Unable to determine upstream SVN information from working tree history

Done rebuilding .git/svn/refs/remotes/origin/master/.rev_map.0039d316-1c4b-4281-b951-d872f2087c98

W: Ignoring error from SVN, path probably does not exist: (160013): Filesystem has no item: File not found: revision 41700, path '/trunk/deps/third_party/flac'

W: Do not be alarmed at the above message git-svn is just searching aggressively for old history.

This may take a while on large repositories

Done rebuilding .git/svn/refs/remotes/origin/master/.rev_map.0039d316-1c4b-4281-b951-d872f2087c98

# Then it keeps repeating the above line like it was in forever loop.

Am I doing something wrong?

+Aaron Gable I think that these just recently got converted to all-git.

All you need to do now is clone https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/deps/flac.git, make your changes, submit the CL and land it with `git cl`, then roll DEPS in chromium/src.git

I'll take a stab at updating the instructions.

Oh, and if you already have a chromium/src checkout, then you already have a clone of the repo.

PTAL the new instructions. They should work a lot better I think.

Aaron/anyone, can you verify that I updated them correctly?

Yup! Thanks for the update Robert! They worked for me and I uploaded https://codereview.chromium.org/1214023002/ for review.
