Why? Fetching git and checking out a specific commit is easier than creating and uploading tarballs. It's also easier to figure out which commit the repo package is using. How do you figure out which commit the package uses? Talking about git, for example, you only see pkgrel=<date>. How to see if your package include a fix committed in that <date> or not?
You'll have to read the PKGBUILD (remember that we checkout that specific commit), but if you only have a snapshot it's quite hard. I think this is a pretty nice solution: http://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/tree/cairo-compmgr/trun... -- Florian Pritz -- {flo,bluewind}@server-speed.net
