gcl, gclient and friends are moving from
http://src.chromium.org/svn/trunk/depot_tools/ to
http://src.chromium.org/svn/trunk/tools/depot_tools/

To help you with the switch, there is now a little script to switch
automatically. Just run **
   *convert_depot_tools*
to convert the depot_tools to the new checkout. Warning: the output of this
tool isn't nice. If anything fails, just checkout manually:
   *svn co 
**http://src.chromium.org/svn/**trunk/tools/depot_tools*<http://src.chromium.org/svn/trunk/tools/depot_tools>
The end result is the same.


The far biggest advantage is that there is only one place for all the
scripts (no more platform specific) and you can now send patches directly
from your depot_tools; e.g. no need to do a separate checkout and run scons
anymore.

The old depot_tools is scheduled to be removed on May 12, 2009 and you will
be upgraded *automatically* next time you run gclient after that date.

Windows-only side-effects:

   - It won't install svn client nor python if they are found in %PATH%.
   - If you used svn lately, the old depot_tools version was upgraded to
   1.6. If you have svn 1.5 in your %PATH%, you may have trouble working with
   your checkout. Just removing your old client from the path and run "gclient
   help" again.
