A little tangent but from this page it seems to me that a '-git' or '-svn'
suffix should only be applied when there is a version of the package without
that suffix in the name; this is to differentiate between the 'stable' and
the 'development' version of the same package.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VCS_PKGBUILD_Guidelines

In his AUR page there are some packages with '-svn' or '-git' suffixes that
do not have non-suffixed counterparts. Is this correct? I would like to
update that wiki page to explain the convention more clearly. --Kaiting.
