Running without -u breaks mkinitcpio-git PKGBUILD when running inside the git tree because files will be owned by root instead of the user. This makes git describe believe the tree has changed so it will consider it dirty while git describe outside fakeroot will consider it clean.

This sounds like it could cause all sorts of problems with repackaging, namely things like `mkdir -p` usage in builds and having directories owned by the complete wrong user. Have you tested this on anything but your particular use case? -Dan
