Things have changed with portage-2.3.42: |
10 |
sync-depth is again supported (in addition to clone-depth). |
11 |
clone-depth is for the first cloning, |
12 |
sync-depth is for the runnnig system. |
13 |
|
14 |
The strategy which I had mentioned (with --merge) is used if sync-depth |
15 |
is set (and nonzero). |
16 |
|
17 |
Only the git index for people with overlayfs is still missing, although |
18 |
there are plans to introduce this also, optionally. |
