    Merge desc and depends files in local db


If you want to run pacman-git you will need to upgrade your pacman database format using the conviently named "pacman-db-upgrade" script in the scripts/ directory. This is not a particularly reversible operation, so if you run this you are stuck with pacman-git until the 3.5 release.

Note that various scripts rely on the old database format. That includes namcap (which Dan is already fixing!).
