Any reason for this?

It shouldn't cause any merge conflicts as the difference between 'fat' and 
'slim' are lines added/removed (I suppose DIST hashes would be generated in 
the same form as they are now, so SHA1, SHA256 and RMD160). It's just over-
complicating things imho.

Portage already is aware of scm vs rsync repositories as for instance some 
repoman checks are omitted for those scm ones. Therefore it seems correct to 
rely on this mechanism and let portage/repoman generate right (TM) Manifest 
for repository being used.
