[gentoo-user] clean up a git sync'd portage

    Hi all,
    ������ are there any settings useful to reduce the size of a git
      sync'd portage? Its just hit 22Gb and the little arm system I use
      to maintain it is choking.�� I am doing a git clean -f and git gc
      --aggressive in the hope it reduces it some, but from reading I
      believe the real problem is years of history logs.�� Is there a way
      of a) setting depth=1 for portage and b) cleaning out the existing
      history? -- or something better?
