Details

use
"cd $_gitname; git reset --hard; git clean -dxf;"
instead of
"rm -rf $_gitname-build; git clone $_gitname $_gitname-build; cd $_gitname-build;"

it's much faster on large repositories like linux-kernel or firefox — no need to clone-remove repository every time — too many unneeded file operations.

something like this: http://pastebin.com/jubGjUGu

(i also found similar proposals by Linus Arver in arch-projects maillist from november 2011)

Then make this change for the packages where it makes sense. VCS packages are changing dramatically for pacman 4.1 anyways and most of these templates will simply go away.
