But there are only do many hours we each can spend on Gentoo. I have the repoman rewrite as my primary portage work in progress at the moment. And this feature is not something I am in need of... For those who may wish to add this and/or other features to the sync, The repos.conf repo definitions are now capable of extra options per sync type (They don't have to be common to all sync modules). So it is possible to add this to the git sync module and have specific repo settings. We are around and eager to help anyone wishing to contribute patches :) -- Brian Dolbec <dolsen>
