[solved] makepkg -o and GIT-package

makepkg -o / --nobuild

This command downloads and extracts files only.
But in case of a PKGBUILD which clones the src from a GIT-repository the behavior is different (it downloads nothing).
Do you think I should write a bugreport? Or is there another command I don't know?

I think that that's behaving as expected, all of the -git PKGBUILDs I've seen pull the source from git inside the build() function which means it would take a change to makepkg and a rewrite of all the PKGBUILDs which pull from any kind of VCS for it to be possible to do what you want.
