Grr, another bug:

Targets: git-1.5.0.5-1

Here is some other stuff:

So this goes back to those stat/lstat issues. I don't have a box with
pacman 2.9.8 that is easy to test this on, but I'm guessing it doesn't
have these problems.

I'm guessing we need to do something like this during conflict
checking- stat directories, but lstat files? I could be way off
though.
