MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge yesplaymusic-git [2] into yesplaymusic [3]: The 'git' package is abandoned since almost 20 months ago, and has long been broken. Apart from one comment made last month on that one, its other 3 comments are from 2 years ago. +1 point: upstream seems to be maintained sporadically, in batches. Whenever a bunch of related new commits get pushed, they also create a new stable release tag. AUR/yesplaymusic is kept up-to-date with those. Therefore even if the git package was functional, it would not offer any significant, meaningful difference to users.
