    Because I've made a small patch to pacman that allows to
"download" tars from a Git repository. See the related bug, and my Git
repository (if interested):
    * http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/7816
    * http://gitorious.org/~ciprian.craciun/pacman/ciprian-craciun-patches

    Thus after making the patch I've wanted to install it localy, test
and use it. (I'm using it now.)

    From the Pacman git repository at: git://projects.archlinux.org/pacman.git
