I am trying to emerge a package from a git repository but the amount being 
downloaded strikes as unreasonable, because if not anything else I don't have 
this amount of space available on the current partition:

>>> Emerging (1 of 2) dev-libs/efl-9999::bar
>>> Unpacking source...
Cloning into bare repository '/usr/portage/distfiles/egit-src/efl.git'...
remote: Counting objects: 515506, done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (82268/82268), done.
Receiving objects:  39% (201698/515506), 99.29 MiB | 199.00 KiB/s 

I can recall such a problem with CVS.  Is there a way I could restrict this 
huge download of stuff I do not need or want on my PC down to a single 
package?
