And what if I was still using rsync? |

I'm currently doing a git clone of the gentoo-mirror/gentoo.git |
| 10 |
repository in another directory. |

Once that finishes, I'll see if I can list the commits in it from March |
| 13 |
and see if I can work my way forward. |

Does it /actually/ matter how I get the portage repository as long as |
| 16 |
it's one from a time close enough that "emerge -DUN @world" will succeed |
| 17 |
in small increments? Even if I have to automate stepping through |
| 18 |
hundreds of them. |

My understanding is that emerge works against the contents of the |
| 21 |
PORTDIR, usually /usr/portage. So as long as I get ... let's call it |
| 22 |
... a compatible version.... That's my hope anyway. |
