I don't think anybody has proposed ditching rsync metadata - just the
Changelogs at this point.
However, there is a git mirror that contains metadata:
https://github.com/gentoo-mirror/gentoo.git
I use this personally - it syncs really fast daily, and if I'm
tweaking ebuilds I'm typically doing it in /usr/portage before I'm
doing it in my actual committing tree. By running git in /usr/portage
I can trivially extract patches/etc and confirm that I'm not missing
things when I make the actual commits. It also makes changes
persistent across syncs.
In any case, it is just one more option at this point.
