Once the testing package hits extra, btrfs-progs-git will be redundant (at least until Chris pulls in more commits). I guess the worth of btrfs-progs-git depends on how often Tom is planning on updating the commit ref in the official PKGBUILD and/or how often Chris pulls in changes to his tree. In general, official and official-git packages have different purposes.
btrfs-progs in official repos (testing/extra) should provides a released version. The btrfs-progs-git package is a _source_ package used to build a package with the _last_ git version (at the build time). At each release, the git package should ship the same content that the released one.

Oops, I always forget that gmail defaults to top posting. Apologies for that. Also, I meant core/, not extra/.

This is true, but until btrfs-progs starts releasing tagged versions again, it seems that btrfs-progs{,-git} will be providing the same thing (again, depending on how often the Mason tree gets updated and Tom updates the PKGBUILD). I'd like to reiterate that I'm in favour of having all three packages in the AUR, as I feel they all have value. btrfs-progs-git's usefulness will (hopefully) be restored/increased once btrfs-progs hits v0.20 proper.
