If it's free from any security flaws, then it's apparently win-win situation |
| 8 |
(a'ka "why store something that is already there - non-distfiles hash"). |

Issue related to Manifests needs to be solved somehow to fully gain from git |
| 10 |
transition. |
| 11 |
Still, what about git overlays that cannot utilize rsync method? This way they |
| 12 |
are no longer compatible with package manager and such method cannot be |
| 13 |
applied. It would be nice to have some common but working solution (if |
| 14 |
possible that is). |
| 15 |
And of course even gentoo-x86 cannot be just cloned and used as PORTDIR,.. |
| 16 |
unless, hmm, Manifests are fetched and then "fixed" (regenerating missing |
| 17 |
manifests lines) on "client side" using git hooks and updated (stripping non- |
| 18 |
DIST digests) and then commited using git hooks. |
| 19 |
Is it possible? |
