[gentoo-dev] New portage git sync behavior

[Mike Gilbert]

Portage 2.3.1 changes the default behavior for git repositories to
sync with a depth of 1. If you are using a development tree with
emerge --sync, you may want to override this in repos.conf by setting
sync-depth = 0.

If you have accidentally converted your development tree into a
shallow repository, you can undo the damage by running git fetch
--unshallow.

I can't find this in the release notes.

Because it isn't there. You may direct any complaints to the Portage dev team.

Wasn't it in a news message? I recall seeing it somewhere, and made the
appropriate changes before upgrading.

I think you saw it here, and so did I but surprised to see that it's
not in the /usr/share/doc/portage-2.3.1 nor in 'eselect news'.

I only intended to notify.

Correction: I do see it mentioned in RELEASE-NOTES, but in a way that
isn't obvious.

I was previously looking at the NEWS files.

I've proposed to revert the change in behavior because we've had too
many problems with it:
