Nikos,

The [extra] package is always set to some particular commit from stable
branch. I don't have particular opinion on your question, but as a
user, I would expect lib32-libx264 to provide the same commit as the
repositories counterpart do, -git to track master branch and
-foobar-git to track commits in foobar branch.
