Description

if you're building a python package from a git repo and it uses versioneer to find its own version number, it returns "unknown" version because librechroot doesn't copy the .git dir into the srcdir, and git describe stops working.

i've thought of adding a bogus git describe command to the PKGBUILD that just echoes $pkgver, but it didn't work right away and just solved it by using tarballs from pypi

I think that the real issue is that there isn't a real sourceball. Use librefetch/mksource to create a sourceball that works first?

VCS packages should now be better supported. (For example, libre/systemd)

If you're still having problems with this, ping me.
