This is a public function.  Any issues with compatibility with other people
using portage as a python library?

...if so, those people would need to know that they can't pass acquire_lock
anymore, that they should call sync manually (at some point) and that they
should call discard_blocker.

As we discussed in person, the _emerge package is a private namespace. So we
only need to worry about callers outside of Portage itself.

Summary: removed the sync() of self._fake_vartree

[davidjames, 2011/03/23 20:19:11]

Exactly. No need to sync every time we search for blockers.
