Why not setup a local rsync mirror ? |

pros: |
| 18 |
- it's easy and guarantees consistence also across different machines |
| 19 |
(on my skin, it's simplify the life) |
| 20 |
- synced once emerge is smart enough to understand that you're trying to |
| 21 |
sync to a mirror with the same timestamp avoiding to sync again. |
| 22 |
- save bandwith and resource (also on mirror side, thanks ;) |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
cons: |
| 25 |
- few megabytes wasted for an additional tree |
| 26 |
- rsync is a resource eater, the server which run it may have peak of |
| 27 |
cpu usage |
