Keep a clone of all git repos under some folder like ~/.vcs and then I put http://pastie.org/2558220 into ~/.vcs/update I then ran the update script before each time I wanted to rebuild the packages. Finally change the _gitroot variable to /home/username/.vcs/projectname and it will automatiically clone it from your hard drive. I usually saved this PKGBUILD for later so that I don't have to change it each time. You could also write a script to autodl the pkgbuild and replace the _gitroot. Hope this helps. Cheers
