Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues
• I have read the guide to filing a bug

Steps to reproduce

1. follow the steps to setup the engine development on a windows machine
2. run gclient sync with a specific revisions
3. there as a 50/50 chances you will encounter an error similar to a previously unresolved (yet closed) issue

In my case I am trying to compile the flutter engine for flutter 3.16.
In the engine.version file on flutter/bin/internal/engine.version I have:

74d16627b940bb15e50891f82cad6c3e3465bd6d

And so I run:

C:\libs\engine> gclient sync --revision=src/flutter@74d16627b940bb15e50891f82cad6c3e3465bd6d    

Expected results

gclient sync should succeed

Actual results

PS C:\libs\engine> gclient sync --revision=src/flutter@74d16627b940bb15e50891f82cad6c3e3465bd6d
Updating depot_tools...
Syncing projects: 100% (135/135), done.
