Sometimes devs love to change ebuilds without bumping them. That's annoying; a bug gets fixed and you don't know about it because "emerge -u" doesn't find any newer version or revision. It would be helpful in this case if emerge had an option to check if the installed ebuild differs from the one in the tree/overlays.
