What you could try to do, if you are syncing using git, is to roll

otherwise reinstall time.
And what if I was still using rsync?
I'm currently doing a git clone of the gentoo-mirror/gentoo.git
repository in another directory.
Once that finishes, I'll see if I can list the commits in it from March
and see if I can work my way forward.
Does it /actually/ matter how I get the portage repository as long as
it's one from a time close enough that "emerge -DUN @world" will succeed
in small increments? Even if I have to automate stepping through
hundreds of them.
My understanding is that emerge works against the contents of the
PORTDIR, usually /usr/portage. So as long as I get ... let's call it
... a compatible version.... That's my hope anyway.
