The gentoo-zh overlay was transferred from the personal account:

https://github.com/microcai/gentoo-zh

to the gentoo-zh organization through GitHub repository transfer, and
then renamed to its current location:

https://github.com/gentoo-zh/overlay

Both old addresses (microcai/gentoo-zh and gentoo-zh/gentoo-zh)
301-redirect to the new repository in a single hop, for both the web and
Git, so existing setups keep working. The gentoo-zh overlay is now
maintained in the new repository.

Please use the new repository for future issues, pull requests, and
maintenance discussions.

For more details, see MIGRATION.md in the repository.

Users who configured the gentoo-zh overlay manually can update to the new
address when convenient.

Re-add the overlay:

sudo eselect repository remove gentoo-zh
sudo eselect repository add gentoo-zh git https://github.com/gentoo-zh/overlay.git
sudo emaint sync -r gentoo-zh

Or edit whichever file under /etc/portage/repos.conf/ contains the [gentoo-zh]
section (eselect-repo.conf if you added it with eselect) and set its sync-uri to
the new address:

[gentoo-zh]
location = /var/db/repos/gentoo-zh
sync-type = git
sync-uri = https://github.com/gentoo-zh/overlay.git
auto-sync = yes

Then run emerge --sync gentoo-zh.
