Tagging issue: wrong CircuitPython version number when compiling main branch

Behavior

Description

Running

git describe --tags
10.1.2-105-g35de08db7e

on main is a bit surprising. I did fetch the new tags (make fetch-tags) and I can see newer tags like 10.1.3 and 10.1.4, 10.2.0-alpha.2.

This generates the wrong CircuitPython version number when compiling the current main branch (in my case "10.1.2-20-g35de08db7e").

@dhalbert This was mistakenly done on the wrong branch right? We could tag another 10.2 on main.

Right, 10.1.2 was tagged on main by mistake. I didn't delete the tag at the time, but I did just now. You can delete the tag locally to fix that: git tag -d 10.1.2.
