AUR package fails to build because the git tag contains a hyphen in it. Not sure if this is something you can fix in the PKGBUILD script.

This package is missing makedepends=('git')

And also the documentation that was just added to the regular package in this commit https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-community/commit/3d34c6eb5e086b8c5b979da13d670358217206b3

@robertfoster The -p flag and the -P flags are different for the install script. -p is shorthand for --path and is deprecated. -P is shorthand for --prefix.

I see you still use -p in the distrobox package but you have switched to -P in the distrobox-git package.

The two flags have differing behaviors so that's why distrobox-git is installing to the wrong directory while the distrobox package is working fine. To correct this issue, you should use -P "${pkgdir}/usr".
