Description:
The current PKGBUILD-git.proto included with abs assumes that the last segment of _gitroot URL matches _gitname. This is an unnecessary restriction.

Case in point, my udisks-git PKGBUILD:

_gitroot="git://anongit.freedesktop.org/DeviceKit/DeviceKit-disks"
_gitname="udisks"

build() {
...
git clone $_gitroot # creates $srcdir/DeviceKit-disks
...
git clone "$srcdir/$_gitname" "$srcdir/$_gitname-build" # tries to clone $srcdir/udisks and fails


While having differing _gitroot/_gitname might not sound like a particularly helpful feature, the fix is totally trivial and harmless.
Attached is a "git format-patch" patch.
