I installed raspberry-overlay-git 493f431-1
It installs and seems to work as expected.

Because it’s a -git version, it will never be considered up-to-date. It always keep pulling the newest version with the newest commit from their git whenever you run an update.
You can just leave it sitting there, and run an update for that package whenever you want.

I did every so often. But it kept being considered out of date every time even though I updated it. The AUR page for each package always had people saying is normal because it pulls the newest commit every update.
I no longer use -git packages though as of this month.
