The metadata/md5-cache is not required and we stop using it because
this machine-generated content is a common cause for merge conflicts
and has no benefits.
And default to git instead of rsync.
git has no rate limiting and will generally be quicker after the first
run.
This does leave a bit of extra data in your local portage-stable `.git`
directory, but it doesn't seem unreasonable to me.
Note: this means we lose the "ChangeLog" file. In the rsync
repositories, that file has been generated by egencache, but the git
repository never has it checked in.
New script update_metadata to do a global update of both repos.
Add support to update_ebuilds to do incremental updates when just
pulling new ebuilds into portage-stable.
Anonymous CVS is too unreliable (or I keep getting blocked, who knows)
so switch the default remote source to the Gentoo rsync mirrors which is
probably what I should have done in the first place. :)
The big here document in the middle of a if statement confuses the code
layout some and I put the git commit outside of the else clause instead
of inside. Ooops. The joy of shell.
Meant to add this last week... It can either pull from Gentoo CVS or a
local directory (in case you rsynced the whole portage tree). Just name
a package by pkg-cat/name and it will update portage-stable.
