Tweak //docs/building_old_revisions to mention branch heads.
A contributor helpfully noted that you may need to run `gclient sync --with_branch_heads` when trying to build an old revision, so this updates the doc.

Note that if you are attempting to build an old revision that is on a branch,
|
||||
you will need to use:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
$ gclient sync -D --force --reset --with_branch_heads
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
instead.

|
||||
**Warning: `gclient sync` may overwrite the URL of your `origin` remote** if it
|
||||
encounters problems. You'll notice this when Git starts thinking everything is
|
||||
"untracked" or "deleted". If this happens, fix and fetch the remote before
