11 It means that your local copy will be updated without having to manually
12 specify the repo. If this is "false", then "emerge --sync" or "emaint
13 sync --auto" will *not* update the repo. You would need to explicitly do
14 so with "emaint sync --repo gentoo".

16 This is "true" by default though. So that's why it works as usual for
17 you even though you don't have that line in your repos.conf.
