fetch Chromium source errors:

Following instructions and installing depot_tools and trying to fetch the code I get this error:

 fetch --no-history chromium --nosvn=True
Running: gclient config --spec 'solutions = [{u'"'"'managed'"'"': False, u'"'"'name'"'"': u'"'"'src'"'"', u'"'"'url'"'"': u'"'"'https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src.git'"'"', u'"'"'custom_deps'"'"': {}, u'"'"'deps_file'"'"': u'"'"'.DEPS.git'"'"', u'"'"'safesync_url'"'"': u'"'"''"'"'}]'

I am not trying to commit stuff just download the source and compile. Compilation is not a problem for me with ordinary git repos or downloaded tarballs. This repo seems not to be ordinary at all.

Nope. Gave up I'm sorry to say.
