Hi, thanks for letting me know.

The main problem is that slim-git is currently using a git repository of an
outdated fork of slim, which hasn't merged slimlock/pulled the changes from
upstream. The last commits were in March, and those were just changes to a
PKGBUILD hosted in the repository. The commit prior to that was in February
and simply merged a patch that Cinelli submitted. Development seems to have
dried up around November:
https://github.com/AeroNotix/slim-git/commits/master

I wasn't aware that Cinelli is a TU, I don't mind waiting another week if
you want to try contacting him on IRC.

Thanks.
