This is dumb because using cp is not enough, you should be using git clone because it is git and straight from git, if you goal is to just use the newest you are doing it wrong go write you own pkgbuild. The only reason to use git packages is if you are deving upstream and want to actively test development of upstream packages... Or if up stream is dumb enough to never tag stable releases. Fortunately there are very few of the latter, so to support the majority of of users we clone the whole thing.  You are welcome to use the old method if you are so naive to believe that people will actually benefit from a true shallow clone of a git repository though yaourt. Because no one should ever install a git I ask age through yaourt because it is deleted immediately.
