Description mike@marineau.org 2013-11-14 02:14:59 UTC 
When building packages in an alternate ROOT that doesn't need to be
perfectly configured as a stand-alone system it is reasonable for
PORTDIR to be shared with the host system and not inside of ROOT. Also
when using eselect in automated scripts (to take advantage of
repo_name:foo/profile/path parsing) it feels clunky to have to emit
"Please ignore the following warning" messages to avoid scaring people.

I suppose --brief could also be used but --force is more in the spirit of "don't hold my hand!"

Reproducible: Always
