If one package provides another, only one of the two packages may be
installed.

Pacman is reminding you that only one of the two packages may be installed.

Your package (mesa-git) is referencing files from a non-existent package
(mesa-git). This is a logical contradiction.

/usr/share/licenses/mesa-git
Messing with the files managed by another package is a Bad Thing. Don't do
it. Install a license in `/usr/share/licenses/mesa-git`.
