I think burdening every user with downloading ~15 years of useless data is at odds with the statement "completely suitable for syncing Gentoo installs" on that page.
If you really need a changelog for every ChangeLog file in the tree, I suggest waiting for the official CVS retirement to complete whereupon a git archive of the entire history will be put up somewhere. |

'git clone --depth 1' will spare your disk space and your mind from that.

Someone from the devs team wrote that the commit history was required in order to abandon CVS and move to git. I can't recall who exactly though. |

And should a typo cost 10 gigs of bandwidth? |

I've been using git sync via repos.conf for a week now and it's working beautifully. Blazing fast and clean. My only complaint is that git doesn't clear local changes to the repository.

Why not? It's not our job to prevent problems caused by typoes. |
