Okay, if you're going to be doing shallow clones, you may as well just get the dang tarballs. This is totally flying in the face of what the -git packages really are, development packages. Once you download it, you never have to again, just update it. If you've got a problem with the size, then somehow get a physical copy of it, or just take the time to get a revision, then keep it updated gradually.
no. because there is no snapshot tarball available all the time, we use git clone.
Before this goes on indefinitely, know that aur-general is not the right medium for this sort of arguments. Better discussion based on technical merit can be had through the pacman-dev mailing list or our bugtracker. If you have a case, let the right people judge it. -- GPG/PGP ID: C0711BF1
