I've just submitted a patch to remove the old (untracked) LICENSE and README.chromium files: https://codereview.chromium.org/2249693002/

Is this the issue you're describing?

I don't think so. The issue is that right now, if I check out master and do a `gclient sync`, my git status ends up looking like this:

    Untracked files:
      (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
    
           	tests/
           	third_party/swiftshader/.dir-locals.el
           	third_party/swiftshader/.gitignore
           	third_party/swiftshader/AUTHORS.txt
           	third_party/swiftshader/Android.mk
           	third_party/swiftshader/BUILD.gn
           	third_party/swiftshader/CMakeLists.txt
           	third_party/swiftshader/CONTRIBUTING.txt
           	third_party/swiftshader/CONTRIBUTORS.txt
           	third_party/swiftshader/LICENSE.txt
           	third_party/swiftshader/README.md
           	third_party/swiftshader/docs/
           	third_party/swiftshader/include/
           	third_party/swiftshader/src/
           	third_party/swiftshader/tests/
           	third_party/swiftshader/third_party/

Got fixed by reverting the patch from  Issue 635880 .

Cool, thank you!
