(Without reading thru all that source ATM...) What's the magic 
incantation for make.conf (or env/cat/pkg files) to force full repos, 
client side?

I do enough git whatchanged checking and occasional bisection to make 
shallow clones something I don't want to even /think/ about.  If I put 
the magic incantation in make.conf now, I won't have to worry about it 
when packages start switching over.
