I was using the following diff:
diff -Naur ~/arch.git/pacman/etc/makepkg.conf /var/abs/core/pacman/makepkg.conf
diff -Naur ~/arch.git/pacman/etc/pacman.conf /var/abs/core/pacman/pacman.conf
I just realized that the makepkg.conf and the pacman.conf files in my
git directory aren't tracked by git. They were generated a while ago
from the makepkg.conf.in and pacman.conf.in when I ran make to build
a git pacman. So the config files are OK.
However, I believe the makepkg.conf man pages still needs to be fix
(If you agree, I'll submit a proper git patch) :
$ diff -Naur doc/makepkg.conf.5.txt doc/makepkg.conf.5.txt.new

This is often used to set the number of jobs used, for example, `-j2`.
Other flags that make accepts can also be passed.
