The full repo URI is actually copy-pastable from github, while breaking everything up requires a few steps to configure it all. I could see some value in being able to switch forks, but that seems like a bit of a niche. If you REALLY want to follow another fork you're better off creating a new ebuild rather than just overriding the environment variable. You can also override the repo URI if it uses the git eclass and again that can be copy/pasted. As Diego/Ian pointed out, we can't really apply this well to anything but live ebuilds. Rich
