That can work out, though unless I'm missing something, I need to move
to the org-mode repository, ask "git branch --contains", and parse the
output. Possible, but somewhat involved.
(TIL: git-describe's "{tag}-{nbcommits}-g{hash}" is actually a valid
revision format that other Git commands understand.)
For the sake of completeness, I've tried visiting org.el and evaluating
(package-desc-version (package-buffer-info))
but package-buffer-info ends up calling (version-to-list "9.4-dev"),
which chokes on "-dev". FWIW, that can be worked around with:
(add-to-list 'version-regexp-alist (cons "^-dev$" -1))

Right, that's my conclusion as well :)
