Description Zac Medico gentoo-dev 2015-08-29 19:45:59 UTC 
The metadata/layout.conf file can be considered as an essential part of the profiles, since it can affect their interpretation via settings such as profile-formats. Therefore, it makes sense to sync this file when the profiles are synced.

This change will make --sync-submodule=profiles more useful for binhost clients, since it syncs the minimal amount of the tree necessary to have a working binhost client.
