What is the recommended way to downgrade gn? Should I update its version in the 2 DEPS files, commit and run gclient sync, or literally overwrite gn.exe in \v8\buildtools\win\gn.exe with a binary I grab from somewhere else?
Sorry if this is a basic question, I didn't delve too deep into depot_tools / gn / cpid / etc. because builds "just worked"™ for us until now. Thanks!
