About using pacman 4.1 VCS template (i.e. put the git repo URL in the sources array, write a pkgver function, and don't manually clone/make a build directory): The fact is that I don't want to download the whole repo (which contains other branches). Please look at my earlier post on the forrum

If there is anyway to clone a single branch as you recommned, it would be very nice, but it seems that there is no way to do that.
There is one other branch, so what? Unless you're talking about more than 100MB, I would say just clone the whole thing and be done with it. You only have to do it once.
