 """
 Script to set v8's version file to the version given by the latest tag.
+
+The script can be run in two modes:
+1) As a gclient hook with the option --hook.
+   The script will write a temporary version file into the checkout.
+2) During compilation as an action.
+   The script will write version.cc in the output folder based on the
+   tag info. In case of a failure it will fall back to the temporary file
+   from the hook call.
+
+In most cases, 2) will succeed and the temporary information from 1) won't
+be used. In case the checkout is copied somewhere and the git context is
+lost (e.g. on the android_aosp builder), the temporary file from 1) is
+required.
