Note that this issue will vanish soon anyway since the next major AUR release will provide Git repositories for all AUR packages. You will no longer need to create source tarballs.
That sounds intresting! Is there some kind of specification or some more notes regarding this? I wonder how permissions/merges/etc. will be dealt with.
Check [1] for some of the implementation details.
On top of that, looking directly at permissions, git only tracks the executable bit, so the only permissions that git knows of for regular files is 755 and 644. [...]
Yes, that's exactly what I wanted to suggest when saying that "this issue will vanish soon anyway since the next major AUR release will provide Git repositories for all AUR packages". Sorry for being vague.
