This what you're looking for?  See this thread:

http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.devel/96933


While I didn't switch immediately, between that and the forum thread 
(which I searched for, since that list thread's a couple weeks old, now) 
on the topic, I just switched from rsync updates to git, pulling from the 
github usersync repo now, since it has the metadata-cache added back in 
that the main public gentoo git repo doesn't have.

FWIW, I switched layman over to using the github repos for the overlays I 
follow (kde and x11 currently, qt and mozilla in the past) as well, for 
the same pre-generated metadata-cache reason.

It's very *VERY* nice to be able to follow gentoo's git log just as I've 
been following my git-based overlays and live-packages logs for years 
now.  Individual commit resolution logs, stats, and if it looks 
interesting, the actual diffs, are *so* much nicer and more detailed than 
changelogs. =:^)
