[Solved] linux-zen and pkgver

Question

Running
cower -ud
it says I need to update my linux-zen kernel from
pkgver=0e5ee3e-1 to pkgver=5a602db-1.
When I download the PKGBUILD, it has the new pkgver defined in it, but then
makepkg
reverts the pkgver variable within the PKGBUILD to 0e5ee3e-1 and the in the prepare stage of the make process it says that I am already up to date.   Of course, after compiling and installing the package, cower still says it needs to be updated because the kernel string is showing that I still have the 0e5ee3e-1 kernel installed.  My questions:
Is there actually an update?  If so, how do I get the package to update?  If there is no update, how can I get cower (and yaourt) to stop saying there is an update?

The PKGBUILD seems to be wrong based on:
$ git ls-remote git://github.com/damentz/zen-kernel.git HEAD
0e5ee3e37ee808ab7b4210eaa3826804f6a949aa HEAD

Ask the AUR maintainer to fix the package.
