How to check for updates on SCM packages?

Hey guys,

I wondered for some time now how to check for updates on SCM packages, i.e. -git
or -svn ones. Updates for binary packages are automatically updated by pacman,
no problem there. Checking for updates on non-SCM packages from the AUR is
easily done with one of the various helper tools available (personally, I use
slurpy).

However, SCM packages can change without their PKGBUILD changing, so I'm not
notified that I should recompile and update them.

Is there a "proper" way of doing this? Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance!
