[SOLVED] AUR Packages: 'laptop-mode-tools' vs 'laptop-mode-tools-git'

The AUR contains two packages for Laptop Mode Tools. laptop-mode-tools and laptop-mode-tools-git. What are the differences, and which one should I be using?

One is the stable release, the other pulls from git master.  Use whichever one you want, or neither of them.

You've provided no criteria whatsoever, so no one could possibly know which would be better for you.

Guess I'll give the git one a try then. Thanks!
