Well, if you synced with all broken manifest files, and re-synced with all fixed manifest files, you'd expect one file to be updated for every package in the repository, so that would be a long sync (but not quite as long as the original one). This was never intended to be a user-visible change (hence no news, etc). The digest issue was an oversight which was fixed. At this point rsync should work as it always did, minus one really long sync. The main thing you'll probably see is that the headers of the ebuilds all contain git hashes instead of cvs revisions. -- Rich
