Why does git have cortex-m version stated as 0.7.4 while crate is at 0.7.7?

Quite confusing. Is this intended?

The master branch of this repo contains what will become cortex-m 0.8.0. After the first breaking change was merged, there were several minor updates released from branch v0.7.x, so that's where you find the sources of version 0.7.7.

Yes, it can be a bit confusing. It's not an unusual approach, but it's a bit unfortunate that version 0.8.0 takes so long.

Roger. It's just more usual to have master contain either the most recent commits from other repos (so to have 0.7.7 version), or to have a version 0.8.0, or to have 0.8.0-alpha etc, so it's easy to just put master branch commit in your Cargo.toml and it would just work, for me it errored because of that.

Anyways, doing a fork and editing version was easy enough. Closing this one.
