Easiest way to update -git packages?

Hello!
I have installed the Dolphin emulator from dolphin-emu-git with yaourt -S and I have noticed that by running yaourt -Syua, it doesn't update Dolphin, even though there is a never version available.
Do I always have to re-install -git packages with yaourt -S to get the latest version? If so, is there any way for me to get noticed when there is a new version out? Or do I have to manually have to check now and then?

Thanks!

--devel will rebuild VCS packages.

As far as notification, every upstream commit is an update. You can set something up to get notifications there.

VCS PKGBUILDs don't have to get an update and there won't be any comment every time upstream makes a change, unless it's a significant one.
I update my -git packages once in a while with makepkg.
