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!).
Will you add a patch to pacman 3.5 to do this conversion automatically
if needed ("You are using an old database format. Do you want to run
pacman-db-update to convert to the new format? [Y/n]")? It would
probably save us from lots of headaches.
I assume it will be done automatically in the post_upgrade script.
