    Make gclient ready for the Blink (DEPS to main project) transition · fcf03763
    primiano@chromium.org authored
    This CL makes gclient understand correctly whether a git project is
    being moved from DEPS to an upper project and vice-versa.
    The driving use case for this is the upcoming Blink merge, where
    third_party/Webkit will be removed from DEPS (and .gitignore) and will 
    become part of the main project.
    
    At present state, gclient leaves the .git folder around when a project
    is removed from DEPS, and that causes many problems. 
    
    Furthermore this CL solves the performance problem of bisecting across
    the merge point. The subproject's (Blink) .git/ folder is moved to a
    backup location (in the main checkout root) and is restored when moving
    backwards, avoiding a re-fetch when bisecting across the merge point.
