we now have flags for the repo cloning which saves quite some bandwith:
GITFLAGS="--depth=1" makepkg
GITFLAGS="--depth=1" paru -S linux-mainline
in case the repo supports partial clones, --filter=tree:0
would be an option as well. this then even updates the repo correctly as soon as this is merged:
https://gitlab.archlinux.org/pacman/pacman/-/merge_requests/53
if you give it a try and make a comment into the pull request if something does not work as it should i'd be glad.
