When ever yaourt failed to build for me, makepkg failed too, e.g.
regarding to a tmp issue. The only drawback I'm aware of is that yaourt
doesn't automatically informs you about "upgrades" of e.g. git
packages, likely it's not a drawback, but an advantage.
Run
pacman -Q | grep git
and decide on your own, if you want to upgrade one of those packages or
svn or ...

Thank you, that might help David too. His feature request anyway is a
good idea.
