1. you can still pull, so it will not be a reason to go against it
This is also true. makepkg clones a bare repository to the SRCDEST directory. If this is a shallow bare repo, then clones cannot be made of it which is what makepkg does.
2. ... i dont think why it needs to use git clone. using cp is good enough...

Won't work as you can't clone shallow repositories, which makepkg needs to do to create the working copy for the build.

I truly do not understand why this conversation exists. We discussed this months ago. The conclusion was that you really shouldn't be using these packages unless you are following upstream... What if the current depth=1 is unstable and has a huge bug.... Then what... Oh those users aren't following upstream and have no idea because instead of the developers of the program monitoring and telling them this a stable (and hopefully bug free release... The use your depth=1 pkgbuild and never update until one of the depends does a soname bump and breaks everything... To save space... In my opinion we should actually remove git packages from the aur... It adds an air of instability to the distribution... People that use -git should really maintain there own pkgbuild... And yes I felt this was so important I interrupted my night out to send... So, unlike you, I hope depth is never supported in package source=() - -- Sent from my Android Phone.
