     Merge desc and depends files in local db


If you want to run pacman-git you will need to upgrade your pacman 
database format using the conviently named "pacman-db-upgrade" script in 
the scripts/ directory.   This is not a particularly reversible 
operation, so if you run this you are stuck with pacman-git until the 
3.5 release.

Note that various scripts rely on the old database format.  That 
includes namcap (which Dan is already fixing!).
