Does anyone find it odd that the non-VCS PKGBUILDs explicitly check to

That may be considered a feature... I have a git PKGBUILD for makepkg
and basically never need to adjust it but always have the latest version
when I build it.
Anyway, we know that the whole VCS PKGBUILD thing is a bit crap and
there are half a dozen bug reports about areas that need fix. See

add ideas on how we can fix the whole thing.
