If you DO NOT check out chromium source code, you can stop reading.
*What's the change?*
To reduce people's confusion about the LayoutTests directory, I am moving it
from *src/webkit/data/layout_tests/LayoutTests* to *src/third_party/WebKit/*
*LayoutTests*. For details of this request, see issue:
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=8765

The first patch <http://codereview.chromium.org/146112> related to this
directory moving has been committed. The patch allows run_webkit_tests.py to
support both src/webkit/data/layout_tests/LayoutTests and
src/third_party/WebKit/LayoutTests directories

I have a pending patch <http://codereview.chromium.org/155115> that actual
moves the directory. I am planning to move the directory next Monday after
Nicholas updates the buildbot gclient configurations.

*What do you need to do NOW?*
-. If you have LayoutTests as part of your client or don't care the size of
your working copy, you DO NOT need to do anything *now*.
-. If you excluded LayoutTests from your client and want continue to exclude
them, please add the following line to custom_deps section in your .gclient
file:
 "src/third_party/WebKit/LayoutTests": None,

    For example, if you have an old .gclient like this:
   "custom_deps" : {
      "src/webkit/data/layout_tests/LayoutTests": None,
    }

You need to change it to:
    "custom_deps" : {
      "src/webkit/data/layout_tests/LayoutTests": None,
      "src/third_party/WebKit/LayoutTests": None,
     }

*What's Next?*
I will send out email once the patch is committed (planned for next Monday).
You may want sync your client and do following after sync: -. For those who
exclude LayoutTests in their client, remove the following line from .gclient
file. No need to have the old one anymore.
"src/webkit/data/layout_tests/LayoutTests": None,
You still need this line: "src/third_party/WebKit/LayoutTests": None,
-. For those who include LayoutTests in their client, manually remove
directory "src/webkit/data/layout_tests/LayoutTests" to save space.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Victor
