So I read the code in git-package.mk and maybe I can make a useful suggestion this time.

Surely the build of a package from Git should remember it's _GIT_TAG_FLAG.${repo} or similar? After all, you always want to install the version of the package you've just built and you always want to build the version of the package that you've just extracted. Nobody should have to remember when midnight occurs in someone else's timezone, which is the current situation. If this information is cached in ${WRKDIR} then it'll be erased with everything else by "make clean".
