This is essentially broken since the upstream repository is gone:
404 - No such project

FYI, I added a 'pristine-tar' package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pristine-tar/

The only thing missing now is
provides:('pristine-tar')

(a non-git package can be created with http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/p/pristine-tar/pristine-tar_1.26.tar.gz)

the bin is in /usr/bin/site_perl.
This is also missing the "xdelta" dependency. see also http://packages.debian.org/sid/pristine-tar

I'm seeing this error message:

Can't exec "xdelta": No such file or directory at /usr/bin/pristine-tar line 515.
pristine-tar: xdelta failed with return code 72057594037927935
pristine-tar: failed to generate delta

There is a missing dependency on the 'xdelta' package. Installing it fixes the issue.

This package doesn't build with latest git. Here is a PKGBUILD that works for me:
