crrev.com/348703002 has introduced some code into gclient_scm.py which
disables the .git/hooks when gclient is running in managed mode.
The disabling logic renames the individual hook files to hook.disabled
using os.rename. Conversely to what happen on Posix OSs, on Windows
os.rename does not have atomic rename semantics [1] and it fails if the
destination file already exists.
This change improves the hook disable logic.

Reland crrev.com/743083002, which was reverted in crrev.com/796053002

adding some de-flake precautions).
Original CL Description:
Make gclient ready for the Blink (DEPS to main project) transition
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.

shlex.spit(), in addition to doing str.split(' '), also strips out '\\'
from windows paths, which causes the cache_dir check to fail and Gclient to think
that we're not in cache_dir mode even if we are.
Instead of using shlex to strip data from a stdout log, I think regex is more
suited for this job.

Original CL: https://codereview.chromium.org/440263002/
Many people* have complained on chromium-dev about the long times
required to perform a full fetch over a DSL. This seems to be mostly
due to the huge size of chromium's history (~9 GB). On the other side,
not everybody is interested in downloading the full git history of
the projects. The size of git packs required to fetch a working HEAD
is one order of magnitude smaller (1.5 GB).
This change makes it possible to perform a shallow fetch (in a way
which is consistent with DEPS, leveraging git templates on clone),
reducing fetch times by 80% for those not interested in the history.

This allows having a git repo cloned on a specific branch or commit, similar to
what's possible for svn solutions by specifying a url like svnrepo/branches/foo
Having the possibility to check the code out on a specific branch makes the
initial code checkout workflow simpler, and allows specifying all the relevant
info directly in the fetch recipe, instead of having to deal with branches
manually afterwards (which is the whole purpose of recipes in the first place)
So with this change, I'm able to do the following in my custom fetch recipe:
solution = {
'name' : 'src',
'url' : 'git@github.snei.sony.com:SNEI/chromium.git@refs/heads/custombranch',

Instead of having custom logic for dealing with cache directories, use
git_cache.py to populate caches.
Also fixes a bug in git_cache.py where it was looking for lockfiles in cwd rather than the cache dir.
Other changes:
* _Run now returns output.
* Always print to stdout in CheckCallAndFilterOutput, even if it gets a carriage return. This is done because git progress report are carriage returns and not newlines and we don't want everything on the same line and not strip out the CRs.
* Removed members changed tests, its not very useful to know a new import is added.

The git cache command is a central place to manage a machine's git cache.
It provides two subcommands:
* populate -- creates or updates the cache of a given repository
* exists -- prints the path to the cache of a repo, if it exists
Gclient, deps2git, bot_update, and any other tools that touch the cache will
be able to use this command to make sure that everyone is interacting with
the cache in the same way.

This is a serious bug, if a version is unpinned, it would become stuck at
whatever a local branch 'master' may point to. This is extremely bad when a
pinned dependency is unpinned on purpose, for example on a canary master. We
reproduced this problem on the chromium.swarm master by setting a custom_vars
swarming_revision to '', which then stopped syncing at the expected
origin/master commit but instead got stuck to what happened to be a local master
branch.
This happens on git dependencies if the main solution is using svn. This doesn't
happen on git checkouts using .DEPS.git due to bug 323233.
The issue looks like:
________ running 'git reset --hard HEAD' in '/path/src/tools/swarming_client'
HEAD is now at 4727bd5 Some commit
Checked out revision d908a546e28d1e9f85f5690cf6c3a080f06ba711
Note that HEAD and what is checked out do not match.
Also reduce the hardcoding of 'origin' by creating a variable named 'remote'.

This helps prevent timeout when checking out large repositories (like blink)
using the git cache_dir.

Add retry for all git operations that speak to a remote. This
should smooth out issues with the git/gerrit-on-borg service.

This fixes an error if the branch already exists.

This is in order to support 'features' like got_revision for build systems
unwilling to scrape the human-readable output of gclient in order to extract
basic information :)

This solves a problem with "os.rename" sometimes failing with an
exception after cloning a dependency to a temporary directory. It's
possible the dying git processes still hold a handle to the directory.
Since gclient delete the temporary directory regardless of the success
of the process, it results in a lot of GB downloaded for nothing.
SafeRename solves this by retrying a few times if the renaming fails,
sleeping one second every time to get other processes the time to
release their lock on the directory. It gives up retrying after 15 times.

Add an option in DEPS files to clone a project into a temp dir
and then copy into expected final dir. This allows checking out a
git repo into a folder which is non-empty. It is useful for projects
that are embedded in src/ but want to specify the revision of
src/ in the embedded project (such as android private).

Also open the altfile with 'w' because we assume ownership over the object
alternates. The logic to correctly support other alternates would be quite
complex, so don't even imply support.
