10 Then a default of 1 seems like the obvious "right" answer.
11 Unfortunately, it defaults to "unlimited" according to
12 https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki//etc/portage/repos.conf
13
14 sync-depth
15
16 Specifies sync depth to use for DVCS repositories. If set to 0,
17 the depth is unlimited. Defaults to 0.

21 Apparently, that's the default. Without any sync-depth setting the
