6 That's because repoman is context-aware. When you use it, it'll look
7 "around" (../..) the current directory for the dependencies. If it
8 finds the deps, it'll check if the ebuilds. If can't find the
9 dependencies, it'll look in ${PORTDIR} for checking them.

11 The former behaviour is for using repoman with cvs portdirs when you
12 need to check specifically *only* that tree. The latter behaviour is
13 for overlays when that tree is *in addition* to the portaget ree.
