This patch is a double-edged sword.

If Mountain Lion is failing a test and the baseline in platform/chromium-mac needs to be updated, and the existing platform/chromium-mac baseline is correct for Lion, then this will do the right thing.

If it isn't (i.e., the test will fail on both, but the Lion bot hasn't cycled yet and started failing), then it will do the wrong thing, because it'll copy the old/bad baseline into platform/chromium-mac-lion and cause that bot to fail on the next run.

(However, if we pull the baseline for the ML bot before the Lion bot, then (I think?) the Lion bot will then re-overwrite the chromium-mac-lion baseline and self-correct. 

I need to step through this to make sure.

Until I am, we probably don't want to land this patch, but it's okay to use if you know what you're doing and/or review the changes carefully.

So if I run this once all bots have cycled it should do the right thing, right?

[Dirk Pranke]

Correct.

this has been obsoleted by the --move-overwritten-baselines approach now in garden-o-matic.
