Overhaul the README files a bit.

+# gclient
+
+gclient is a tool for managing a modular checkout of source code from multiple
+source code repositories. It wraps underlying source code management commands
+to provide support for distributing tree updates, status commands, and diffs
+across multiple checked-out working directories.
+
+The gclient script is controlled by a `.gclient` file at the top of a directory
+tree which will contain source code from multiple locations. A `.gclient` file
+is a Python script that defines a list of `solutions` with the following format:
+
+    solutions = [
+      { "name"        : "src",
+        "url"         : "svn://svnserver/component/trunk/src",
+        "custom_deps" : {
+          # To use the trunk of a component instead of what's in DEPS:
+          #"component": "https://svnserver/component/trunk/",
+          # To exclude a component from your working copy:
+          #"data/really_large_component": None,
+        }
+      },
+    ]
+
+A `solution` is a collection of component pieces of software that will be
+checked out in a specific directory layout for building together.
+
+Each entry in the `solutions` list is defined by a Python dictionary that
+contains the following items:
+
+- `name`: The name of the directory in which the solution will be checked out.
+- `url`: The URL from which this solution will be checked out. gclient expects
+  that the checked-out solution will contain a file named `DEPS` that in turn
+  defines the specific pieces that must be checked out to create the working
+  directory layout for building and developing the solution's software.
+- `deps_file`: A string containing just the filename (not a path) of the file in
+  the solution dir to use as the list of dependencies. This tag is optional, and
+  defaults to `DEPS`.
+- `custom_deps`: A dictionary containing optional custom overrides for entries
+  in the solution's `DEPS` file.  This can be used to have the local working
+  directory *not* check out and update specific components, or to sync the local
+  working-directory copy of a given component to a different specific revision,
+  or a branch, or the head of a tree. It can also be used to append new entries
+  that do not exist in the `DEPS` file.
+
+Within each checked-out solution, gclient expects to find a file typically named
+`DEPS` (it actually uses the value of the `deps_file` key above) which defines
+the different component pieces of software that must be checked out for the
+solution. The `DEPS` file is a Python script that defines a dictionary named
+`deps`:
+
+    deps = {
+      "src/outside": "https://outside-server/one/repo.git@12345677890123456778901234567789012345677890",
+      "src/component": "https://dont-use-github.com/its/unreliable.git@0000000000000000000000000000000000000000",

Yeah, +1

+      "src/relative": "/another/repo.git@aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa",
+    }
+
+Each item in the `deps` dictionary consists of a key-value pair. The key is the
+directory into which the component will be checked out, relative to the
+directory containing the `.gclient` file. The value is the URL from which that
+directory will be checked out. If there is no address scheme (that is, no
+`http:` or `svn:` prefix), then the value must begin with a slash and is treated
+relative to the root of the solution's repository.
+
+The URL typically contains a specific revision or change number (as appropriate
+for the underlying SCM system) to `freeze` the external software at a specific,
+known state. Alternatively, if there is no revision or change number, the URL
+will track the latest changes on the specific trunk or branch.
