Permanently remove package from AUR/yaourt updates

I've installed grub-git manually from the AUR, because I needed to patch it in order to get the intel graphics working on my MacBook. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ma … _on_11.2C3
I usually use yaourt -Syua to keep my system up to date. Now yaourt offers me a new version of grub-git every time I update and the patch that I applied would get removed. Is there a way to remove grub-git from the list or to ignore it permanently?

AFAIK yaourt recognizes ignore option in pacman.conf

Thanks for the answer.

Well it worked in a way, as it now tells me that its orphaned...
I can live with that, if there isn't a more elegant way.

Or you could rename your patched package.
