aur/tor-git 0.3.5.0.alpha......

I was going to post the question here but it has been closed https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=238702

aur/tor-git 0.3.5.0.alpha.29435-1 [installed: 0.3.5.0.alpha.29441-1] (10) (0.02)
    An anonymizing overlay network (development version)

Double mystery, this pkg was just update to the version you see above 29441-1 and shortly afterwards I see that an earlier version is listed in AUR. I am pretty sure I didn't run a new update of the database, so how come did this newer version appear.
Also, I don't know if the AUR naming is irrelevant to the source, but 3.3.7 is the current tor stable line, 3.4.x is alpha 3.5 does not yet exist, I think.

From the PKGBUILD,

pkgver=0.3.5.0.alpha.29435

This is where the package had been when the PKGBUILD was written
The url being fetched is indeed grabbing the master:

_branch=master
#_branch=maint-0.3.2
...
source=("git+https://git.torproject.org/tor.git#branch=${_branch}"

later in the code:

pkgver () {
    cd "$srcdir/tor"
    echo "$(grep AC_INIT configure.ac \
        | sed 's/.*\[\(.*\)\].*/\1/;s/-/./g;s/.dev//').$(git rev-list --count origin/$_branch)"
}

This reads the version at "master", i.e. the latest thing in the git structure and updates the package version to that.

ewaller@turing/home/ewaller/devel/build/tor-git/src/tor[129] % git describe --long --tags
tor-0.3.5.0-alpha-dev-693-g9ae359754
ewaller@turing/home/ewaller/devel/build/tor-git/src/tor % git rev-list --count origin
29441
ewaller@turing/home/ewaller/devel/build/tor-git/src/tor %

So, it looks like there have been 29441-29435 = 6 commits since the PKGBUILD was written

So I assume this is normal and nothing to worry about.
Thank you
