My motivation and discussion of this change is starting from this comment:

Please follow the V8 external committer process. Among other things, neither is
your base URL against the bleeding_edge branch in our svn repository nor is do
you have a "l g t m" from a V8 owner.

Please refer to:

I tried to start with these instructions.

The problem is they refer to
http://dev.chromium.org/developers/contributing-code and this document is about
git-cl (and there is no svn-cl in depot_tools).

After a bit of searching I've found
https://github.com/v8/v8/wiki/Proposing-a-Patch which is saying that I can use
git and «patch must be branched from master or bleeding_edge (that's the same)».
I've followed these git instructions.

And now I'm confused.

I've resubmitted this from svn: https://codereview.chromium.org/247453002/
Please note that Github wiki page is really confusing.
