It seems you didn't get my point, and I don't know what point you're trying
to make. As I already pointed out, dynamically linking against git versions
of said packages is the same as building against locally built versions of
those git packages, except it is kinda stupid because you need to rebuild
everything everytime you want to update mpv, not to mention saving space
and CPU cycles, but those are your calls...

As for the "real version", all it would take would be a comment on mpv-git
asking the maintainer to use git describe (which is exactly what version.sh
is doing) instead of what he's currently using.
