Maybe I can help (as the luakit author).
Ideally luakit-git should be the development checkout of luakit however it was setup to track the master branch. The "problem" here is that I use the master branch to point to the latest stable release and do all the development, merging & testing in the develop branch.
So there is no difference between luakit-git and the [community] version thus the removal request.
Perhaps this deletion request should be for luakit-develop-git and we update luakit-git to track the develop branch.
I've also got some PKGBUILD updates here which fix parallel building & cleanup the make options.

What do we want to do?

Hello Mason, thank you for the explanation, it certainly cleared things up. Moreover now I see the luakit-git used git -b master to explicitly update to master, which I didn't notice before. I'm in favor of deleting luakit-devel-git and updating the luakit-git to checkout the "develop" branch. The -git packages normally represents the development version, so adding -devel- can be considered superfluous. And it needs more typing. cantabille, jwbirdsong: is that OK with you? But you would need to decide who is going to develop the luakit-git package. Lukas
