why not add --depth 1 :)
because you can't do nearly anything git related with this clone. You can't clone, can't update, etc. Best workflow is * clone the repo (like downloading a source package) * on all following calls do an update * then do a clone to do the build (even here without '--depth 1' because local clones are cheap) * before the next build only remove the build-clone With this workflow you only need to clone the repo once and then work with your local copy. I don't know exactly what automatic the new makepkg implements for repository sources, but I think it will do the first two steps above. So the PKGBUILD only has to provide the clone for the build (if the sources are not prepared for out-of-source builds). Hope this helps Uwe
