Ok, if we're going to encourage this, let's do it properly:
* Have a branch called 'master'. Commit to it. Don't stick any metadata
in it.
* Have a branch called 'master-with-metadata'. Don't commit to it
manually.
* Have a script that merges master to master-with-metadata, and as part
of the merge commit, generates all necessary metadata for the range
it's merging.
* Store either the partial hash or the owning repository and timestamp
of each eclass used by an ebuild in its metadata.
