Details

To improve the speed of version checking without keeping srcdir in disk (creating srcdir only if the version of the package was changed).
Creating copy should be done after checking whether the package has not already been built!

Sorry for my english.
This task depends upon

Sources are extracted before updating pkgver so that you can use the sources to calculate the new version... Calculating a version without sources would be a little difficult.

OK, I can see that the problem occurs only in SVN case - makepkg creates a copy of the "SRCDEST(startdir)/{name of branch}" despite the absence of such a need.
You should download a SVN pkgbuild, makepkg -o and compare content of "SRCDEST(startdir)/{name of branch}" and "srcdir/{name of branch}" - will be the same.

EDIT:
I solve this temporary with noextract and cp in prepare().

If you really want to avoid copying the sources I think manually extracting your sources is going to have to be your permanent solution. Delaying the extraction of svn sources would require special handling for svn in makepkg. It would also break existing PKGBUILDs that use the copy in $srcdir and cause confusion by requiring users to use the copy in SRCDEST unlike all other sources.
