Description Sven Blumenstein (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

If cvs sync is setup in make.conf, emerge does the initial checkout with the following command:

 if not portage.spawn("cd "+cvsdir+"; cvs -z0 -d "+cvsroot+" co gentoo-x86",portage.settings,free=1):

This also syncs empty directories and gives some false repoman errors if you run repoman over this fresh sync (ChangeLog/metadata missing). Adding -P to the checkout command would fix this.
