+# Build overrides in GN
+
+This directory is used to allow different products to customize settings
+for repos that are DEPS'ed in or shared. For example, one might wish to
+build V8 one way in a standalone build, and another when being built as
+part of Chromium.
+
+In order to use the `build_overrides` directory, each product should
+have its own copy of a file, where each file defines a set of variables
tfarina 2015/10/13 04:40:46 by 'a file' you mean that which product like v8 or
+that can be customized per checkout. For example, the `//build` directory
+might be shared between V8 and Chromium (and exactly the same, with V8
+DEPS'ing in Chromium's copy of `//build`), but each repo might have its own
+local `build_overrides/v8.gni` file.
