that sounds about right actually. except there won't be manifests e.g.
I may actually run

find . -name Manifest -exec rm '{}' +

from the root of the tree. (depends on whether I can get rid of
manifesting distfiles, but they don't change so often, so aren't
really a problem).

is there anyway built in way to do that and check to see if the hash
matches HEAD? (before I go and write a string comparison so that it
does)
