Using Funtoo to get a recent Gentoo

Today I created a chroot to be able to do some tests. Therefor I wanted to have a recent unstable gentoo stage. Unfortunately there are no (recent) unstable stages (or I was just blind) but there are unstable funtoo stages.

So I followed the instructions on funtoo's quick-install-howto but instead of git checkout funtoo.org I did a git checkout gentoo.org which gives me a clone of gentoo's portage tree. After emerge --sync and emerge -avDu world (which downgrades some packages) it seems to be a ordinary gentoo but with a git based tree instead of rsync based but that doesn't matter...

One question still remains, what exactly is the difference (I mean other than a git based tree) between to two, gentoo and funtoo?
