After crrev.com/c/6486489 landed, gclient sync failed randomly due to lock failures. After investigation, it was concluded that the locks are not immediately released after the lock file handler close so that it fails to acquire the lock if gclient_scm.py attempts to lock it immediately after mirror.populate(). In Linux, there is no guarantee that the file close will release all the locks before processing the file description closure, unlike the CloseHandle() do in Microsoft Windows. This CL is to update the logic so that it releases the lock before os.close().

Think repo or git submodules, except that it support OS-specific rules, e.g. do not checkout Windows only dependencies when checking out for Android. Usegclient helpfor more details and README.gclient.md.git cl: A code review tool to interact with Rietveld or Gerrit. Usegit cl helpfor more details and README.git-cl.md.roll-dep: A gclient dependency management tool to submit a dep roll, updating a dependency to a newer revision.
There are a lot of git utilities included.
Updating
depot_tools updates itself automatically when running gclient tool. To
disable auto update, set the environment variable DEPOT_TOOLS_UPDATE=0 or
run ./update_depot_tools_toggle.py --disable.
To update package manually, run update_depot_tools.bat on Windows,
or ./update_depot_tools on Linux or Mac.
On Windows only, running gclient will install python.

cpplint.py
Until 2018, our cpplint.py was a copy of the upstream version at
https://github.com/google/styleguide/tree/gh-pages/cpplint. Unfortunately, that
repository is not maintained any more.
If you want to update cpplint.py in depot_tools, just upload a patch to do
so. We will figure out a long-term strategy via issue https://crbug.com/916550.
