[Suggestion] About git,svn package

Question

I recently want to use git pacakge to get 3d enable on my machine, but I found that it is hard to change git package to the normal one even if normal one updates.
So I hope PKGBUILD can make package version like this way: [offical version].git[git verseion]
like mesa-git:
mesa-7.7.git20100118
so when mesa is updated to 7.8, we can also change it to the offical version with a simple yaourt -Syu.
This can be done like following:
pkgbase="mesa-git"
pkgname=('mesa' 'libgl' 'ati-dri')
pkgver=20100119
_realver=7.7
pkgrel=1
arch=(i686 x86_64)
depends=('libx11>=1.2' 'libxt' 'gcc-libs>=4.3.3' 'libdrm>=2.4.12')
makedepends=('glproto' 'pkgconfig' 'libdrm>=2.4.12' 'libxxf86vm' 'libxdamage' 'expat>=2.0.1' 'libx11>=1.2.2' 'libxt' 'gcc-libs' 'dri2proto')

As you can see, gitver is set to be pkgver and for each package, its pkgver is set to "${_realver}.git$gitver", so we can also get the feature from makepkg ver update, and make packages of simple git version .
we will get libgl-7.7.git20100119-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz mesa-7.7.git20100119-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz ati-dir-7.7.git20100119-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz from the pkgbuild before.
And for a package don't need split, a dumb pacakage must be added in pkgname, like following one:
pkgbase=libdrm-git
pkgname=("libdrm" "dumb")
pkgver=20100119
_realver=2.4.17
