Selection between multiple recipes in the same layer will be made
based on their PV variable. By default PV will follow the version
defined by the recipe name, but there's nothing to stop a recipe
explicitly setting something else... and it's the final PV value which
is used to select between multiple recipes, not the recipe name.
There's nothing special about _git recipes. If a _git recipe sets a
higher PV value then it will be selected, if it sets a lower PV value
then it wont.

Re: [yocto] Which bb is chosen when several versions are available

[Rudolf J Streif]

The one with the higher version number unless explicitly overridden with
PREFERRED_VERSION_php.

However, if there is also a recipe with _git.bb then that one will
be chosen as git indicates the latest.
