Check out https://github.com/eli-schwartz/pkgbuilds to see how I've done it -- I decided to use a subtree push to export per-package folders from a master repository to the AUR per-package repositories. I also have a few githooks for auto-generating .SRCINFO, suggesting a commit message, and auto-generating aurballs for the transitional period where we need to support the old and new AUR interfaces. The `aurpublish` script handles creating and pushing packages. Suggestions are welcome. :) -- Eli Schwartz
