sync

sync is a Python program that wraps tools/git-sync-deps. Motivations for using it:

• Written in Python, so it will work on all platforms.

• Checks to see if the DEPS file has changed since it last ran gclient sync. If not, it skips that step.

• Since running sync is fast when it can do nothing, it is easy to do before every recompile of Skia. This is a good habit.
