The previous sys-fs/btrfs-progs ommitted the actual new ebuild.
So here's the actual ebuild (as well as a copy of the previous
commit message for reference).
I'm adding an updated btrfs-progs ebuild based on a discrete git
commit from the semi-official git source tree on kernel.org
(http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/mason/btrfs-progs.git)
using the EGIT_COMMIT="..." variable to lock down the ebuild to
a specific version.
This version now contains the first generation of recovery tools
to assist users who have corrupt btrfs volumes. Although a btrfsck
tool that corrects errors in place is not available yet, at least
users can use this recovery tool to extract data from their partition
to facilitate recovery.
Btrfs-progs is moving at a glacial pace towards a 0.20 version.
The official source for the 0.19 version is no longer available since
the rebuilding of the kernel.org servers after being hacked in
August/September of 2011.
Even thought the 0.19 sources are widely available on mirrors,
it makes sense at this point to make a git-based ebuild since the
modifications are extensive, and the official 0.19 source tar ball
is MIA.
