IIRC, some people (peter?) have had /usr/bin/svn on their path ahead of depot_tools, since they don't want our svn interfering with their webkit checkout. this used to work if you always accessed our svn by calling gvn instead (yes, i meant gvn). i believe that gcl, like gvn, will also pass through to svn, but when i try it now, i get a strange error. so, perhaps no one is counting on this anymore.
