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. -- Rich
