Hi. When EVCS_OFFLINE is set, then package_LIVE_COMMIT is ignored and the latest commit is checked out instead. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Tested with these 2 lines in /etc/portage/package.env net-im/utox utox.conf net-libs/tox tox.conf plus these 2 lines in /etc/portage/env/tox.conf tox_LIVE_COMMIT="61f8e65c0157049ac26bf9b081ba6842d7defdeb" EVCS_OFFLINE=1 plus these 3 lines in /etc/portage/env/utox.conf utox_LIVE_COMMIT="b623d58311288c1c89d54cd570a4b79777097a80" EVCS_OFFLINE=1 EGIT_BRANCH="develop" then # emerge -v tox utox Actual Results: the commits in _LIVE_COMMIT are ignored and latest commit is checked out instead (seen after emerge, the version of utox was 6 something, instead of 0.5.1 something) Expected Results: expected results should be the same as when the line EVCS_OFFLINE=1 is commented out! that is, the specified commits in _LIVE_COMMIT are used instead. # emerge --info tox utox Portage 2.2.27 (python 3.4.3-final-0, default/linux/amd64/13.0/no-multilib, gcc-5.3.0, glibc-2.22-r2, 4.5.0-rc5 x86_64)

This is pretty much a design issue since EVCS_OFFLINE pretty much disables everything but checking out whatever was checked out last. Help changing that would be appreciated. I'm not sure what would be the best solution. Possibly we could change 'fetch' to disable only operations actually involving network I/O while leave repo modifications on.
Good news! It turns out that my code was better than I thought, and it was quite easy to disable the fetching part without disabling the ref-update part. Pushed now, there might be minor bugs in rare scenarios but seems to work well for switching branches/tags/commits. commit b6f85379dcb5e962ccd6136ab03e2637542eb5e0 Author: Michał Górny <mgorny@gentoo.org> Date: Thu May 26 12:09:38 2016 git-r3.eclass: Support switching refs with EVCS_OFFLINE, #575898
