Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-11-11 17:20:55 UTC 
But portage does, or at least the tree serving code infra uses does.

This means that repoman lets you commit metadata.xml files that will stop the generation of the tree for rsync access, and that's not good.

Brian and Jeremy can probably explain this better than me.

Well, not any special code, just egencache.
