You can't practically use any overlay foolish enough to publish these
repositories for end user consumption.
Its just a silly idea. There's no problem with having overlays cloned
into a branch as a step towards it hitting mainline, but overlays
being distributed to users as main tree branches is just a silly idea.
Mostly, because end-users will still have ::gentoo via rsync, and the
load of cloning a git repo of ::gentoo will be too much for the
average user, doing that just to get an overlay is exhaustively
execessive vs the current mechanism we have for overlays, and it comes
at a penalty at being not as good as overlays in that you can't easily
have >1 of them.
