In unmanaged mode, is the instruction at
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/UsingGit#Updating_the_code
still true? If not, could you change it until it is?

AFAIK the instructions are correct. Here's an example of my gclient sync with unmanaged mode on a local branch:

Does this change affect "fetch blink" as well?

Yes I think it does - "fetch blink" appears to also use chromium recipe.

Actually Jeffrey, my previous test was invalid (it was done on a managed checkout by mistake).

Thanks for double-checking. Before making this sort of change in the
future, could you and the rest of the infrastructure team go over the
instructions and update them to match the new state of the world?

I agree this could be better reviewed, will remember to do that.

Which I like. The managed gclient did a little too much magic for my taste.

But there are still places in the documentation that needs updating.

http://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/UsingGit#Managing_src.git_yourself

says:

"WARNING: The following workflow is UNSUPPORTED. If you need support, do  
not use it."

And doing what it says about keeping in sync:

gclient recurse -s git git fetch --all

will result in python errors (at least for me on my Windows machine; might  
be something I've broken locally).

Just to close the loop here, new instructions are at https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/dev/developers/how-tos/get-the-code

Pawel,

My blink checkout does not sync anymore.

my .gclient looks like:

solutions = [
{
        u'managed': True,
        u'name': u'src',
        u'url': u'https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src.git',
        u'custom_deps': {},
        u'deps_file': u'.DEPS.git',
        u'safesync_url': u'',
        u'custom_vars': {u'webkit_rev': u''}
}]

My dumb script that I use to sync does just:

$ gclient sync --reset --manually_grab_svn_rev --force
--delete_unversioned_trees

It is stuck at:

________ running 'git reset --hard HEAD' in '/home/tfarina/blink/src'
HEAD is now at 357af72 SVN changes up to revision 239063

I followed the instructions:

Switched from Managed to Unmanaged mode (sigh! will have to train my
memory muscles again and edit my toy scripts).

cd "$CHROMIUM_DIR" && git pull origin master
cd "$BLINK_DIR" && git pull origin master
gclient sync

It is syncing now. I will report back if something else appears.
