[gentoo-user] Strange q-reinit

[Peter Humphrey]

Hello list,

I have a small script /etc/portage/repo.postsync.d/q-reinit which is causing 
emerge --sync to complain. I don't know where it's come from, but its date 
stamp is 15 September.

This is the script:

#!/bin/sh
repository_name=$1
repository_path=$3
if [ -n "${repository_name}" ]; then
        q ${PORTAGE_QUIET:+-q} --reinitialize="${repository_path}"
fi
:

It causes this error:

# /usr/bin/emerge --sync
>>> Syncing repository 'gentoo' into '/var/cache/repos/portage'...
/usr/bin/git fetch origin
Already up to date.
=== Sync completed for gentoo
q: unrecognized option '--reinitialize=/var/cache/repos/portage'
usage: q <applet> <args>  : invoke a portage utility applet
[...]

Can anyone shed some light on this?
