Isn't this covered by /etc/portage/repos.conf/*

Absolutely, but this requires a manual intervention from the user. And,
of course, you can totally opt-out from portage managing (syncing) the
repository, but then you have to take care of syncing yourself.

The point is that with the new portage release, portage's behavior
changes. And I would argue that portage should not, in its effort to
become more user friendly, disregard ebuild-developer friendliness.
Assuming it is achievable with a reasonable amount of additional code
complexity.

This bit me too, and making things worse, the truncate killed the git
history that presumably had the answer I needed to fix it up.
=:^(  Fortunately I had a bit of a clue due to preemptively following the
portage changelog where I had seen a hint, so I was able to dig it up
again without the git log help that's definitely now my first instinct.


Thankfully, if anyone does accidentally gets shallowed, just executing 'git fetch --unshallow' will revert the default '--depth 1'

I really don't care for that 'git clean' patch. If that makes it in without a way to opt-out, it will be patched out for me personally.
