I am a bit confused regarding makepkg's versioning of packages.
From what Allan said on this mailing list a couple of days ago, custom
support is being added to makepkg.
In addition, from what I can see on the wiki and manpages, the only
variable influencing the versioning is pkgver.
However, from what I've heard, when running makepkg with _gitroot and
_gitname set, makepkg will automatically
set pkgver to the date of the last commit.
Could someone clarify this? Also, the wiki pages regarding makepkg
should mention this.
Thanks,

It uses the revision number from the repo. There is (used to be?) a wiki
page that detailed how to use the VCS variables. This is the closest I
could find:
