With that said, you've taken a totally job-agnostic script and hacked

maybe someone does want to download a full repo without exceptions.
Why aren't you doing this in a more sane fashion outside of the script
itself? I know this is going to be a bit of a hack wherever it ends
up, but this is the wrong place to do it.

Yes, this is really bad.
Maybe a newer script just for core-workaround ?
I was thinking something a bit simpler.
* Get the package names using `pacman -Slq $REPO` and drop the cut/tr
B.S. at this level. Convert it to a bash array.
* Command line takes an exclude list, or file, or something. Parse
this into a bash array of package names, should be pretty
straightforward.
* Loop the pacman provided list of packages; if any value is present
in the blacklist, drop it.
* Proceed as we do now; when looping ^^ prepend "$REPO/" to each, and
use this list for download.
Obviously this isn't trivial, but it shouldn't be more than 20 lines
or so. However, it makes it a lot easier to blacklist, unblacklist,
and track said changes using version control once it is in place.

Yes, much better, I will see can I do...
