The source of Portage's pym/portage/sync/modules/git/git.py contains |

this comment: |

def update(self): |

''' Update existing git repository, and ignore the syncuri. We are |
| 9 |
going to trust the user and assume that the user is in the branch |
| 10 |
that he/she wants updated. We'll let the user manage branches with |
| 11 |
git directly. |

''' |

If this were to change, there are a bunch of questions that would need agreement in how they are answered: |
| 17 |
- if the repo's remote URI has changed, should we update the git checkout's |
| 18 |
remote URI from sync-uri? (what if there are multiple remotes in the checkout?) |
| 19 |
- if the repo's branch has changed in the config, should we update the checkout's branch? |
