fix devtools subtree repo broken by blink move

Project Member Reported by paulir...@chromium.org, Apr 12 2018

Issue description

Since the Great Blink mv, the subtree repo we've been using as mirror origin is now empty. That subtree repo: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/third_party/WebKit/Source/devtools/

The new post-mv location is https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/third_party/blink/renderer/devtools/

We use this subtree repo in order to mirror to Github, allow 3rd party contributors an easy contribution mechanism, and to publish the frontend to NPM.

Two questions:
1) can the subtree repo be updated?
2) we need the the git history. can we do that?

thanks!

I looked into keeping git history during the ios_internal migration and it's quite difficult. Eventually we gave up. Can you live without the history from the pre-move location?

I have created the mirror without the old location history for now:
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/third_party/blink/renderer/devtools/
Status: Fixed (was: Started)
Given that there have been no updates, I'm assuming no old location history suffices.
