Description Martin von Gagern 2012-03-21 14:15:32 UTC 
If /etc/portage/package.mask is a directory, emerge will concatenate all their content, resulting in completely unrelated comment lines preceding a given atom. The source is only given as /etc/portage/package.mask, the actual file inside that directory is not named.

I'll attach a patch to improve this situation by splitting comments at file boundaries, and by printing the actual file name instead of the directory name.
