@Deneb sorry but my build pipelines use cloned local git repositories to function and alot of functionality, flexibility (and possible error reproducing) depends on it. changing the pipelines to a tarball, while not impossible, would require enourmous effort and time from me I simply do not have to make it(building,installing,testing,reverting commits from upsteam,...) all work on my end too.
I personally prefer the git way, while I know its a larger pull from the internet -- that's why I put the gitrepo in the correct place localy before I do the makepkg so it doesnt have to download it all over again.
TL;DR ==> When upstream messes up that simple,fast and flat tarball becomes my enemy.

Tired of compiling? Use this binary repo instead! Add this at the end of /etc/pacman.conf :
