MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge clang-git [2] into llvm-git [3]:

Eliminating problematic partial duplication.

clang is part of the 'llvm-project' GitHub repository.
AUR/llvm-git already builds clang as well.

The latter is a much better PKGBUILD, e.g. it has a proper and more
useful project version based pkgver() instead of just using the number
of git commits (rREVISION).

Also, it doesn't make sense to build clang-git separately from llvm-
git, as these should go hand-in-hand for proper, reproducible testing.

Deleting 'clang-git' will allow the maintainers of llvm-git to decide
if they want to make a split package for clang inside the llvm-git
pkgbase (which may or may not be desirable - but it should be up to
them to consider this option).
