All this talk about switching to a more powerful SCM I can understand
- but what would the purpose of switching the portage tree to a
distributed SCM be?
The main purpose that comes to mind is to help the groups working in
overlays (layman -L shows 28 current overlays; there may be more). It
should enable easier merging of trees, local tree management, sharing
experimental changes between devs without commiting to the main tree,
while still retaining the possibility of easily pushing changes back
to the main gentoo tree.
