The things in $DISTDIR/git3-src is called "bare" repositories (i.e. it is that ".git" folder itself, without "unpacked" work tree, like you have in $PORTDIR) 2) Although, all the ways to check it would be too hard for your purpose. 3) but there is nice tool for your purpose: it's called `app-portage/smart- live-rebuild`.

This looks like it saves me a lot of work ( I was willing to write a Python script myself). Helmut

I always thought you had to invoke smart-live-rebuild as its own command and never realised that it also provided a special set. Cool! I'll just add to your second point that while you can operate within a bare repository (and some commands work directly, e.g., "git gc"), they are usually what you push to and fetch from (meaning that you don't need a special server to host a git repo, you can just put a bare repository on, e.g., a shared folder and use that as your origin).
