As suggested by Arnout [1], this series provide an alternative archive format. This new format contains a shallowed version of upstream repository. This format is a little bigger and a little longer to create but it allow a better workflow with upstream. I describe some good practice in patch 2.
Notice projects hosted by github don't yet benefit of this feature since I have not found any elegant way to do it :-(.
During my tests, I have noticed current shallow clone is mostly broken (at least with git < 2.5 [2]). Indeed, shallow clone only work with symbolic references (HEAD, a tag or a branch). However, we avoid use of symbolic references in VERSION.

J?r?me Pouiller (5):
pkg-download: do not testSITE_METHOD
download/git: allow to create archives containing shallowed git repos
pkg-generic: allow to populate build directory from a git archive
pkg-generic: provide an option to use git archives
pkg-generic: tag sources if git is used
Thanks for the proposal. :-)
Following the previous replies from Thomas and I, we've further discussed this tonight on IRC, and we still believe this is not how development (active or debugging) should be done, and we already provide the _OVERRIDE_SRCDIR for that.
As such, I've marked patches 2..5 of your series as rejected in Patchwork.
Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
