I am not that familiar with git but I think he uses a git snapshot already by setting this options in the findcruft2 ebuild: EGIT_REPO_URI="git://git.xnull.de/findcruft2.git" EGIT_TREE="6b8c800f33aee3dc0bd9751ff1db2bf61668ff10" This will checkout a specific git tree and is somewhat the same as a snapshot. > or, having to choose a version > control system, I would prefer one that doesn't take 75MB of hard > disk.

As for now you can call "git some-command" and "git-some-command" which offers the same functionality, but in the future with these binaries removed only "git some-command" will be possible. -- Regards, Daniel
