If you obtained your repository by editing repos.conf then you also |
| 10 |
need to set sync-depth = 0 if you want to actually get any history. |
| 11 |
By default portage will not pull any history when syncing git. I'm |
| 12 |
not sure if it will fetch the old history or not if you add it after |
| 13 |
the initial sync. The default is intended to keep the size down while |
| 14 |
allowing more efficient syncs (git is more efficient than rsync if you |
| 15 |
are doing frequent updates). |

If you just do a git clone then you should get everything by default. |
