Just an update to this, I've tried the advice of just "blowing away" the whole folder. I deleted the entire chromium-project folder and only fetched v8. This step has worked for me and now I am able to build everything fine! Although my original goal to clone both chromium and v8 is still not achieved, so maybe I will try that in a different folder.
