Depends, what is the package? The official repos are tracked by SVN and mirrored to Git, and the AUR is mirrored to Git.

Nope.

I was researching  and I completetly oppose to you.

if the package was placed in official repo in any momment, is possible try find the last pkgbuild push there in the SVN repositories of packages thing, but as more old.. more long the search and maybe difficult.
I not find a way to recover it from the aur, but also is possible recreate the pkgbuild from the ´pacman -Sii´ and 'pacman -Qii'-
there is the problem of the .install and the patches.

EDIT:

Yeha I don't konw that AUR was mirrored in git.
but I have

there is the problem with the no-in-both-but-installed-in-my-system.
