The current official release of dmd is 2.100.2, but when I build from the git repo, `dmd --version` says:

	DMD64 D Compiler v2.098.1-10051-g61d7d56a0
	Copyright (C) 1999-2022 by The D Language Foundation, All Rights Reserved written by Walter Bright

Why is it still reporting 2.098.1?  Isn't that like several releases behind already?

Some thinks that come to mind:

  • Is your repo up to date with dlang/dmd?
  • Is the dmd command actually executing the dmd you built?
  • Do you have a locally overridden VERSION file in the root?

That looks like a git version tag + some commit.

When you pull the remote branch in, do you specify --tags? You may not be acquiring all the git tags into your local repo.
