Earlier there was "full" "git" version in Manual and I found it convenient
(I read the manual from time to time to find how to do something in org)
but now when I open Info with Org manual I'm a bit puzzled, it shows
version 9.1 while Org from Emacs (I use Emacs from git) shows version
9.1.9 and that confuses me completely, which version is "fresh"?

I understand that, but on the other hand, when I/someone uses Org from
git explicitly it would worth to show the "actual" version in Org Manual
(as seen by Info). WDYT?
