Package Management for Pleasure and Profit

I know that abs can make packages using svn/git/etc to be installed by pacman, but will pacman auto-magically update these svn packages when it's installing updates from the "normal" arch repos, or is that something I would still have to do myself?

That's something you have to do yourself using ABS again.

Pacman can't, but yaourt can, using the --aur and --devel options. If you really need auto-magic updates, you could try that.
