One thing to note, if you do change to git syncing, is that you'll have to |
| 8 |
delete your entire portage tree: 'rm -r /var/db/repos/portage'. That may seem |
| 9 |
like a bad idea if you're having sync problems, but it isn't really. After |
| 10 |
that, the sync will take just seconds, as Neil said. |

You'll never look back. |
