You'd need to resubmit a new package in order to rename.
You can use the replaces=() field to indicate that this package should be installed instead of the former package, but the AUR doesn't really implement replaces metadata and no AUR helper even tries AFAIK.
Done, new package '-git' created and delete request submitted on old '_git' package.
Also in general, you seem to include gcc in the makedepends, and recently added pkgconf and make as well. This is incorrect. All three are in the base-devel group, which is *mandatory* for using makepkg, so anyone who does not have them is doing the wrong thing.
The AUR does *not* cater to people who try building packages without base-devel installed.
Which means that as makedepends they're totally unnecessary and therefore clutter which should be removed.
Removed on all. Thank you for your help and tutelage. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
