A bit of warning here: gentoo.git tree doesn't contain commits prior to git migration, thus can't be used as a full attic on its own. However, historical git repo can be grafted[1] to gentoo.git. Resulting tree will be quite large and slow for some operations (like git log), but will be the real attic. Thus I usually have three trees on my dev boxes: /usr/portage ~/gentoo ~/gentoo-full [1] https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Gentoo_git_workflow#Grafting_Gentoo_history_onto_the_active_repository Best regards, Andrew Savchenko
