Example /etc/portage/repos.conf/go-overlay.conf: [go-overlay] location = /var/lib/overlay/go sync-type = git sync-depth = 0 sync-uri = https://github.com/Dr-Terrible/go-overlay auto-sync = yes In spite of sync-depth being specified, every sync of this repository results in a shallow clone of depth 1. # emerge --sync go-overlay >>> Syncing repository 'go-overlay' into '/var/lib/overlay/go'... /usr/bin/git fetch origin --depth 1 remote: Total 0 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 0 === Sync completed for go-overlay
It works fine for me. Can you please provide emerge --info?

We should check the output of this command: portageq repositories_configuration /
We need to patch portage to so sync-depth in portageq repositories_configuration output: diff --git a/pym/portage/repository/config.py b/pym/portage/repository/config.py index 0512057..c3038ce 100644 --- a/pym/portage/repository/config.py +++ b/pym/portage/repository/config.py @@ -924,7 +924,7 @@ class RepoConfigLoader(object): def config_string(self): str_or_int_keys = ("auto_sync", "format", "location", "main_repo", "priority", - "sync_type", "sync_umask", "sync_uri", 'sync_user') + "sync_depth", "sync_type", "sync_umask", "sync_uri", 'sync_user') str_tuple_keys = ("aliases", "eclass_overrides", "force") repo_config_tuple_keys = ("masters",) keys = str_or_int_keys + str_tuple_keys + repo_config_tuple_keys
