Hi Jacob (Jacob) . I'm not sure there is any reason why emaint shouldn't be used to sync the repo... In fact, it may be preferable not to sync all repos (as emerge --sync does), but just to update the one repo. Advising plain emerge --sync could lead to soliciting some servers more than is advised, and I'm not sure it makes sense to sync all repos if you aren't doing an "emerge [...] world" update.
Concerning the emerge --sync command, the emerge manual says "emerge --sync command is a compatibility command", I'm not sure if this means that the emaint command is now preferred, or if it is just stating that they are equivalent.
