 # Checking out the sources of an official chromium release:

-# In a working directory, you create three directories:
+# See also https://github.com/zcbenz/chromium-source-tarball where this is
+# fully automated, but the resulting tarballs are much bigger because they
+# contain sources specific to windows and mac too.
+#
+# In a working directory (~/chromium_src by default), three directories will
+# be created:
 # - depot_tools: this contains all the tools needed for creating the tarball
-# - checkout: here over a GB of source will be checked out
+# - checkout: here over 16 GB of chromium source code will be checked out.
 # - output: here the chromium-${RELEASE}.tar.xz source tarball will be created.
 
 # Note: if you want to find out the recommended version for the native_client
