The tag on github associates version 1.8.0 with 30e9c13. Here is a link to the libssh2.h at 30e9c13.
https://github.com/libssh2/libssh2/blob/30e9c1347e3b8baa2951db612f05e6d87fc8e2f2/include/libssh2.h#L54

There must be something that changes this macro definition between commit and tarball packaging.
Here it is:
https://github.com/libssh2/libssh2/commit/d75e9c5c0db75e87715d6fdd410e76296b53b886#diff-d0e781ac3006f6ad820471d567561762

The version macros have not been updated between 1.7.0 and 1.8.1 git-wise but are correct in the tarballs. That means if someone
builds from the git source the version info was wrong until aforementioned commit.

    Hi Daniel,
    
    thanks for your reply. "The tag in the git repo is the exact state of the files when the release was generated".
    Please verify this:
> git checkout libssh2-1.8.0
    HEAD is now at 30e9c13... RELEASE-NOTES: adjusted for 1.8.0

    This is what i get after cloning the git repo git_at_github.com:libssh2/libssh2.git.
    And this differs from what i can find in the same header file taken from the 1.8.0 tarball.
    
    This is not what i expected and not something that i am used to from other projects.
    Just wanted to point you to this. Maybe i fooled myself somehow, but to me it seems to be
    inconsistent.
    
    Cheers,
    Afschin

        The official libssh2 releases are the tarballs on the web page that also are
        attached to the release tags on github. The tarballs are also signed (by me)
        to allow everyone to verify their authenticity.
        
        The tag in the git repo is the exact state of the files when the release was
        generated. It is consistent and reproducible.
