Fetch sources from git repositories. All packages have 9999 version numbers.
These packages have source USE flag to install links to .py sources, so you can keep git repositories in your sources directory and all .py files from /usr will be linked to your sources directory. To use this feature you need
- setup SUGAR_SRC_ROOT environment variable
- `git clone` all packages to $SUGAR_SRC_ROOT, names of subdirectories in $SUGAR_SRC_ROOT should be equal to proper package name
- unmask '9999' packages(you can find full list in profiles/package.mask in overlay directory)

NOTE sugar-overlay uses unstable versions for some packages thus if use stable profile, change your package.keywords

cat <where_your_overlay_is>/profiles/<release>/package.keywords >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
