Hey @RealOrRandom. The localversion.* files are needed by the building stage because kernel building scripts will look for those files to set the kernel version in the binary (the version you see with e.g. 'uname -a'). There are 3 files created by the prepare() stage: localversion.10-pkgrel, localversion.20-pkgname, and version. But those 3 files aren't touched by the kernel git tree, which means after you ran prepare() once (e.g. using makepkg -o), you can git bisect, git checkout, git rebase, etc, and the 3 files will remain untouched. Although I'd suggest to run 'make kernelversion > version' before running 'makepkg -e'.

Hi, thanks for making a new -git package. Could you move
echo "-$pkgrel" > localversion.10-pkgrel
echo "${pkgbase#linux}" > localversion.20-pkgname
to the _package functions? This is needed when playing around in the source tree (e.g., checking out other versions) and then running makepkg -e. I did this change for bisecting a regression in the kernel.

While we do have another AUR package (linux-git) that follows Linux mainline too, unfortunately it does not update the build script and config file.

I've created this package to follow official Linux mainline from Linus Torvalds' repository. The build script and config file are going to be up-to-date with Arch's official Linux package, unless it's required an update to be functional. But I removed the documentation package on purpose because it consumes too much build time.
