Hello,

I have just become the maintainer of my first package in AUR,'linux-next'.
It's name lacks -git prefix, though it is using git to fetch source
code.

I figure out that I have these courses of action:
1)Ask for the deletion of 'linux-next' package in favor of
'linux-next-git';

2)Create a separate package 'linux-next-git' which uses git by fetching sources 
like described in Wiki page "VCS PKGBUILD Guidelines", but keep 'linux-next' 
and use prepare() mechanism, which will utilize 'git clone --depth=1' (less to 
download, useful for one-time building);

3) Don't create any new packages and just update 'linux-next' PKGBUILD like in 
1).

Thanks,
denspirit.
