Hello,
When maintainers user GIT as sources and looking how some maintainers setup pkgver(), how are packages updated? Do maintainers have to manually update it? Or is their any third party AUR clients smart enough to check out GIT sources for latest git commits?

The "package" is rarely updated (only if the maintainer changes the PKGBUILD); it--the PKGBUILD--points at head/tip and pulls that.

For those packages that point at the head, I would have to manually check for commit changes and update them myself? For example, clone the AUR repo and run 'makepkg -si'?

You just keep the build directory and periodically `git pull` and then run makepkg.
