I think you know that that's not going to be an acceptable solution

% equery size net-misc/rsync dev-vcs/git
 * net-misc/rsync-3.2.3-r2
         Total files : 31
         Total size  : 979.02 KiB

 * dev-vcs/git-2.26.3
         Total files : 638
         Total size  : 31.70 MiB

A bit of a difference :)

I agree that we should be trending towards using git for emerge --sync.
