Thanks for the patch. I applied it with a few changes:
1. Updated it to follow the pacman coding standards- the opening brace
of a function goes on the next line.
(http://www.archlinux.org/~aaron/pacman-coding.html)
2. Removed extra whitespace that your editor added or something. I
recommend chmodding +x the pre-commit GIT hook to check for things
like this.

Thanks for the contribution though- try to keep these small points in
mind next time.
