Subject: [Chrome OS] Add README to explain wonky DEPS file use
We are moving to using a DEPS file for extra chromium os deps that is checked into the main Chromium tree. As an artifact of the way gclient works, this means that devs will have a r/w version of this file in their source tree and _also_ a read-only version that gclient checks out somewhere else. This README explains this and how to update the DEPS file correctly.

+This DEPS file specifies the extra dependencies required to build
+Chromium for Chromium OS. It lives here in src/tools/cros.DEPS, but
+is generally checked out to another location by a custom rule in your
+.gclient file, often a cros_deps/ directory next to your src/
+directory. For example:
+
+ { "name" : "cros_deps",
+ "url" : "http://src.chromium.org/svn/trunk/src/tools/cros.DEPS"
+ },
+
+If you want to rev these deps and publish them for all to see,
+edit src/tools/cros.DEPS/DEPS. If you want to rev the deps locally first,
+edit the file in the location to which your .gclient file checks it out
+(in most cases, cros_deps/DEPS), but note that you cannot push a modification
+from there.
