I wasn't aware of https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/aur-git/ and I agree, it should be available for AUR 4 too.
Rather than cloning the whole AUR history (lots of unneeded disk space) I suggest you use the following to pull the last version in the aur-mirror:
wget -e robots=off --reject "index.html" -np -r -nH --cut-dirs 3 pkgbuild.com/git/aur-mirror.git/plain/{package-name}
robots=off because otherwise recursive download fails, don't download the index page, just the files it links to, and cull the extra folders in the path to the packagedir.
Thank you Eli, good to know a way to save disk space, assumed it's needed and/or wanted. At the moment it's convenient for me to clone it. $ du -sh /var/aur/ 1.7G /var/aur/ Regards, Ralf
