Description SpanKY gentoo-dev

we shouldnt be sticking files in SRC_URI that are 0 bytes in size which means no entry in Manifest should have a DIST line which is 0 bytes in size.  this also prevents semi-common bugs where a dev has a file in $DISTDIR which is 0 bytes and repoman rebuilds the manifest for it.

This should already be fixed in 2.2_rc13 (above commit was with 2.2_rc12). The new behavior is to force fetch and bail out if the file can't be fetched.
