So to sum up this thread: It seems that: a) we are moving to GIT which doesn't cope with $Header: $ stuff b) we want to avoid the "double commit" caused by $Header: $
For a) I would prefer then to remove the $Header: $ stuff until GIT is really about to be used. In a GIT world things will change completely anyway (if it works at all). Then for b) I like to suggest to ask the portage team to simply skip the $Header: $ part(s) when calculating the digests, and shove that change in at the same time manifest1 is obsoleted and migrated into the tree (removal of digest-* files).
