That was me hehe. I was curious to see what would happen.
So it looks like you're just copying over what's in the filesystem.
It might be a good idea to work with aur-dev to help make the source
cleaner, then everyone can benefit - even those who don't use your git
repo.

You probably want to grab the tarballs, and extract what's in those.
The next release of the AUR will only have tarballs and PKGBUILDs.
The other files won't be extracted.
