Subject: [gentoo-devhelp] How do I select a specific Git "head" in live ebuilds?

1 I am trying to create an ebuild that fetches a specific head from a Git
2 repo. As you can see here:
3
4 http://lmms.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=lmms/lmms;a=summary
5
6 There are several "heads" listed: master, stable-0.4, calf-updates, etc.
7 By default, the git eclass uses "master". I tried putting:
8
9 EGIT_BRANCH="stable-0.4"
10
11 in the ebuild. But this doesn't seem to help; "master" is emerged
12 instead of "stable-0.4".
13
14 What am I doing wrong?
