I locally bumped to git-sources-6.9_rc6.ebuild before it was bumped in gentoo. If the patch is not on the gentoo distfiles mirrors then it is downloaded from: >>> Downloading 'https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/p/v6.9-rc6/v6.8' --2024-04-29 01:16:46-- https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/p/v6.9-rc6/v6.8 Resolving git.kernel.org (git.kernel.org)... 145.40.68.75, 2604:1380:4601:e00::1 Connecting to git.kernel.org (git.kernel.org)|145.40.68.75|:443... connected.

Of course it later works when the patch has arrived on gentoo distfiles mirrors.
It would be interesting if you could give us a copy of the one you had before, so we can diff them. I wonder what changed..
I manually downloaded now https://gentoo.osuosl.org/distfiles/de/patch-6.9-rc6.patch (https://distfiles.gentoo.org/distfiles/de/patch-6.9-rc6.patch) --- /var/cache/distfiles/patch-6.9-rc6.patch._checksum_failure_._t5yikrk 2024-04-29 01:16:46.000000000 +0200 +++ /home/joerg/Downloads/patch-6.9-rc6.patch 2024-04-29 02:01:59.811895206 +0200 @@ -1,5 +1,5 @@ diff --git a/.get_maintainer.ignore b/.get_maintainer.ignore -index c298bab3d3207f..7d1b30aae87426 100644 +index c298bab3d3207..7d1b30aae8742 100644 ... It is the count of checksum that differs through the hole patch.
I think git uses the fewer chars needed to unambigously refer to it. It would be nice if there's some way to ask it to give the full commit hash. I think there is but I don't remember the parameter name..
I don't see how this can be correct. I bump the same way you do. And of course, the patch is not on distfiles when I do the bump.
This does not seem like something I can fix for you. I bump the same way you describe for years and years. I suggest you wait until the ebuild comes from the official tree or create a git package in a local repo.
