/usr/share/makepkg/source/git.sh	Modified makepkg source file; allow use of additional git command parameters.	0644
/usr/share/makepkg/source.sh	Modified makepkg source file; use shallow git repository cloning (parameter --depth 1) instead of cloning full git repository when downloading package source code with makepkg.
