And once it's sync'd the first time, I think sync depth is ignored. It
normally doesn't make much difference anyway, because git stores the
current version in full, and then just diffs going backwards.
The difference between a sync=1 and sync=0 isn't that much for linux I
gather - maybe doubles the size?
For a normal user who just wants to USE portage, a sync of 1 makes
sense. They can then always go back as far as when they first set it up,
anyway.
Cheers,
Wol
