Description Andrzej Olender 2005-02-04 09:56:08 UTC
Hello, I have an idea, it might be new option for portage tree. I have in my mind masking  portage branch, beacuse many branches aren't useful for us, and syncing new portage tree takes more time, and space in hdd. If that option will be available,  syncing can take less time and space in hdd. What is  yours opinion ?

not entirely sure what you're talking about but it sounds like RSYNC_EXCLUDEFROM in make.conf
