I suspect the problematic case might be two pretty basic template ebuilds of different packages. This would most likely be a problem when one is added and another is removed in the same commit, although that's the wrong workflow. I'm not sure whether it would also be a problem with multiple commits. I suppose you'd see the problem when you were trying to track the passage of certain code blocks across multiple commits (pickaxe). -- Thanks, Donnie Donnie Berkholz Developer, Gentoo Linux Blog: http://dberkholz.wordpress.com
