Hi folks,

what does --deep actually do ?

I've just sync'ed and asked emerge what it would update:

    emerge --newuse --update --tree --pretend world
    
Showed nothing. Okay, evrything up to daet.
But:

    emerge --deep --newuse --update --tree --pretend world
    
showed several packages. 

So what does it actually do ? Rebuild certain packages if others
they depend on had been updated ?
