10 Any reason for this?

12 It shouldn't cause any merge conflicts as the difference between 'fat' and
13 'slim' are lines added/removed (I suppose DIST hashes would be generated in
14 the same form as they are now, so SHA1, SHA256 and RMD160). It's just over-
15 complicating things imho.
16
17 Portage already is aware of scm vs rsync repositories as for instance some
18 repoman checks are omitted for those scm ones. Therefore it seems correct to
19 rely on this mechanism and let portage/repoman generate right (TM) Manifest
20 for repository being used.
