When multiple Gentoo machines are used on the local network, and they
use the same git ebuilds it may be useful to set a local mirror :).

The idea is quite simple -- you set the host to EGIT_CLONE_TYPE=mirror,
and then share the EGIT3_STORE_DIR directory. Then you set
EGIT_MIRROR_URI on the remaining hosts and they try to fetch from your
local mirror first.
