This bit me too, and making things worse, the truncate killed the git history that presumably had the answer I needed to fix it up. =:^( Fortunately I had a bit of a clue due to preemptively following the portage changelog where I had seen a hint, so I was able to dig it up again without the git log help that's definitely now my first instinct. Long story short and for the record, manual intervention indeed and I wish it had at least come with a news item, but here's the magic that fixed it for me. I had one of these previously, IIRC clone depth, but both are now needed. I put these in the [DEFAULT] section here because I run several overlays and I "want" access to proper git logs and history by default. (FWIW "want" is the polite, cooled down, version; the situation was considerably more sweary when I lost that history and instinctively I tried to look in the git history for why, but of course it was GONE!) repos.conf, [DEFAULT] (or [gentoo]) section: clone-depth = 0 sync-depth = 0 -- Duncan - List replies preferred.

The point is that with the new portage release, portage's behavior changes.

I had https://xkcd.com/1172/ in mind when writing it. I was also criticized for not providing a rationale for the behavior change in portage. The motivation is driven by the noble goal to make portage more user friendly and robust. Which I fully support. Just like I support shallow clones per default. I just believe portage should do a better job figuring out if it potentially messes with a "user-owned" repository and adjust its behavior accordingly. In a similar spirit I submitted https://github.com/gentoo/portage/pull/960 - Flow
[gentoo-dev] Current portage will now truncate your repo's git history to 1
This is a public service announcement that the recently stabilized portage version will truncate you repo's git history to 1. While this is a good thing for the majority of Gentoo users, it affects developers that develop in a git known to portage (like me). If I understand the portage maintainers vision correctly, then future portage will assume full control over its configured repositories and potentially perform destructive operations on them, for example "git clean" [1]. I personally would prefer portage simply adjusting its behavior based on the owner of the repository. That is, if it's the 'portage' user then assume full control, and if it is a different user, then fall back to a preserving, conservative mode of operation. Unfortunately, for me, this idea was received skeptically at best in a recent discussion in #gentoo-portage. So this is a heads up for fellow developers using a similar workflow like me, that they are probably required to change their workflow to use PORTDIR_OVERLAY and multiple repositories on their system: a system-wide, managed by portage, and a dev repository (in your HOME), scoped in via PORTDIR_OVERLAY. As everyone knows, there is nothing better than to change the workflow that has served you well over multiple years. But apparently the PORTDIR_OVERLAY approach works well for others, so I am confident that I (and others) will be able to make the transition with a minimal amount of ranting. ;) - Flow 1: https://github.com/gentoo/portage/pull/939

Hello, everyone. The Gentoo MATE project [1] does not have any developers anymore. Please consider joining to keep it alive.
