I double checked this one and I am adding git-shell to /etc/shells within the install file [2]. This is the same behavior as git in [extra] [3].
Whoops, I must have gotten confused while `diff`ing your files against the version in extra.
I dug around a bit and found this ticket [4] where it seems if you didn't have hdf5 as a makedepends, then the build would fail (I personally don't think it should have failed given the documentation [5]). This really should be optdepends now since you can build without it. Fixed. I also took the liberty of adding opencv-samples to the conflicts array (since opencv-git provides samples without the split package).
As anthraxx said... I have no personal experience with the package but it should either be a makedepends+optdepends as with the non-git package, or if something has changed in git and it cannot be made optional it shouldn't be both a depends and an optdepends. -- Eli Schwartz
