1) git clone / dr get

note: i used get --partial because we used it, too and i used git clone because
--depth is not an option for developers. this means that in fact git does more
for you in this test as it fetches the whole history. additionally this is a
benefit for us, since this way the changelogs will be more complete (pacman-g2
-Qc)
