How about going by package name instead of path?

Having a Pkg = foo bardirective so you can pick which packages you want from a repo without having to know the actual path.

[loynoir]

Actually, the foo bar here is category, not package name.

For example, something like below

$ cd repo
$ fd PKGBUILD
admin/admin-a/PKGBUILD
admin/admin-b/PKGBUILD
container/container-a-preset/PKGBUILD
container/container-b-preset/PKGBUILD
shellscript-tools/shellscript-a/PKGBUILD
shellscript-tools/shellscript-b/PKGBUILD
third_party/stable/stable-a/PKGBUILD
third_party/stable/stable-b/PKGBUILD
third_party/unstable/unstable-a/PKGBUILD
third_party/unstable/unstable-b/PKGBUILD

Would be nice to per category per section. :)

[admin]
Url = "https://example.com/user/repo.git#subdirectory=admin"
Depth = 2

[container]
Url = "https://example.com/user/repo.git#subdirectory=container"
Depth = 2

[shellscript-tools]
Url = "https://example.com/user/repo.git#subdirectory=shellscript-tools"
Depth = 2

[third-party-stable]
Url = "https://example.com/user/repo.git#subdirectory=third_party/stable"
Depth = 2

[third-party-unstable]
Url = "https://example.com/user/repo.git#subdirectory=third_party/unstable"
Depth = 2

Yeah that makes more sense for subdirs. Though I think it would still be cleaner to make it a directive than part of the URL itself.
