I have noticed then when I install this package, it clones the whole neovim repo and all its history, rather than the HEAD of a specific branch. I think this could be a nice quality of life change, which should significantly improve the download speed when installing this package.
I believe PKGBUILD has support for cloning a subset of a git repo. The simplest of which is probably just running a custom git command like git clone git@github.com:neovim/neovim.git --single-branch --branch master
. Some quick googling shows me that there is no support for pull requests in the AUR, but I could try putting together a patch if that is helpful to the maintainer.
