Maybe --stats_file_test should be called --stats_file like before? But
--stats_file_ref can still be called stats_file_ref.

[kjellander_webrtc, 2017/01/02 20:01:48]

Good point, although it's not as clean.
I suggest keeping the old one but say that it's DEPRECATED in the help string.
Then make it behave exactly the same as --stats_file_test. That way the test in
Chrome won't break when this is submitted, and a CL in Chrome can easily be
submitted to use the non-deprecated one, after which we can remove it.

Create a helper which you invoke

...Popen(cmd, stdin=_DevNull(),...

and put the comment on the helper instead.

[mandermo, 2016/12/21 16:42:06]

Done.
