Suppose I wish to look up the revision of V8 used in the current dev channel release, 59.0.3071.9.

I can view the published DEPS:
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/59.0.3071.9/DEPS

Here I see in the "vars" section:
  'v8_revision':
    'fe9bb7e6e251159852770160cfb21dad3cf03523'

In the master DEPS (and at the time of branch, before anything has been cherry-picked), this would be the correct answer. However, any subsequent change is not reflected here, but instead appears below in the "deps" section:
  'src/v8':
    (Var("chromium_git")) + '/v8/v8.git@55f70d7c905599846dfe841afede63273aa6a782'

At master, this uses Var("v8_revision") to share the revision of V8 declared above. But 55f70d7 is the actual revision I should be looking at, not fe9bb7e. This just tripped me up while trying to track what revision included a merged commit.

Is it possible to modify chrome-release-bot to either update the v8_revision variable (and use that in the deps section), or at least remove it vars section so that there is no red herring?
