1. Install sddm-git from AUR. paru -S sddm-git
2. Run paru -Syuu, the output:

...
1 aur/sddm-git  0.19.0.199.g0a54d3a-1 -> 0.19.0.170.g3e48649-1
:: Packages to exclude (eg: 1 2 3, 1-3):

I installed sddm-git with the last version from git repo, but it does not match the version from PKGBUILD which isn't updated. My suggestion: /etc/paru.conf would add a new option IgnoreDowngradeWithSuffixes to ignore downgrading package with the suffix *-git.

paru version:

paru v1.11.2 - libalpm v13.0.2

paru conf: /etc/paru.conf

Why even use -uu in the first place?

[Zesko]

It would be useful in some situations such as downgrading to a previous version of a package to fix compatibility issues and bugs when the package was rolled back in a repo.

I am not sure yet, if Arch dropped support for "-uu", but I do not understand why it still works. "-uu" works differently than "-u".
