Merge desc and depends files in local db
If you want to run pacman-git you will need to upgrade your pacman database format using the conviently named "pacman-db-upgrade" script in the scripts/ directory. This is not a particularly reversible operation, so if you run this you are stuck with pacman-git until the 3.5 release.
Note that various scripts rely on the old database format. That includes namcap (which Dan is already fixing!).
Will you add a patch to pacman 3.5 to do this conversion automatically if needed ("You are using an old database format. Do you want to run pacman-db-update to convert to the new format? [Y/n]")? It would probably save us from lots of headaches.
