[gentoo-user] From rsync to git: sync-uri is invalid: https://github.com/gentoo-mirror/gentoo.git

Hi,

To switch from rsync to git I am following the steps described here
https://www.reddit.com/r/Gentoo/comments/3i141w/now_that_portage_is_using_git_how_do_i_git_pull/

The last step I did was  "mv /usr/portage /usr/portage.old ; emerge
sync" and I got:

solfire:/usr>emerge --sync                          
>>> Syncing repository 'gentoo' into '/usr/portage'...
!!! sync-uri is invalid: https://github.com/gentoo-mirror/gentoo.git

As fas as I know, this is the uri Joost uses...

Hmmm....why does portage thinks, this uri is wrong?
(...and how can I fix it?)

Cheers
