because you can't do nearly anything git related with this clone.  You
can't clone, can't update, etc.

Best workflow is
* clone the repo (like downloading a source package)
* on all following calls do an update
* then do a clone to do the build (even here without '--depth 1' because
local clones are cheap)
* before the next build only remove the build-clone

With this workflow you only need to clone the repo once and then work
with your local copy.

I don't know exactly what automatic the new makepkg implements for
repository sources, but I think it will do the first two steps above.

So the PKGBUILD only has to provide the clone for the build (if the
sources are not prepared for out-of-source builds).

Hope this helps
