The full repo URI is actually copy-pastable from github, while |

breaking everything up requires a few steps to configure it all. |

I could see some value in being able to switch forks, but that seems |
| 11 |
like a bit of a niche. If you REALLY want to follow another fork |
| 12 |
you're better off creating a new ebuild rather than just overriding |
| 13 |
the environment variable. You can also override the repo URI if it |
| 14 |
uses the git eclass and again that can be copy/pasted. |

As Diego/Ian pointed out, we can't really apply this well to anything |
| 17 |
but live ebuilds. |
