The second biggest difference between cvs/svn and the rest, that accounts for a lot of suckage with the other VCS, is the inability to query remotely the latest revision/version. We need to download/pull the code first.
This is not true for git.
$ git ls-remote git://projects.archlinux.org/pacman.git | grep HEAD

That's interesting anyway. I didn't even know if was possible with git, and git is the vcs I know the best :P It might be worth to write down a summary of all VCS and their features/commands relevant to makepkg in that wiki page. Because I still think that's the main cause of all current problems.
