NOTE: due to a bug in gclient (crbug.com/1475448), it's possible that gclient
left unmanaged git repository. You may need to manually remove those unmanaged
repositories.
```
# Inside chromium/src checkout:
# This ensures that all managed dependencies are in sync:
gclient sync -D
# This moves all unused dependencies to ../unused directory in gclient root
# (just outside of src directory). It then tells git to restore gitlink.
for f in $( git status | grep '(new commits)' | awk '{print $2}' ); do mkdir -p "../unused/`dirname $f`" && mv $f "../unused/$f" && git checkout -- $f; done
# inspect ../unused/ if you'd like, and remove it there's nothing useful there,
# e.g. no non-uploaded commits.
```

affected submodule), running `git status` in its parent repo will show them as
unstaged changes:
