Question

Hi.
I have a git clone of youtube-dl (master) and I do a pull every couple of days. I used to use the module via python -m youtube_dl for running the module with latest changes.
But I wanted to run it from everywhere and so I installed it manually using python setup.py install .

My query is: When I do a manual install, will the final installed module contain all the changes up to that git pull, or, will it only contain the changes till the last release?
I am asking this because whenever I install it, it gets installed with the last release name/number. So, I am not sure whether the commits after that release tag, which are already pulled, are included or not, in the installed module.

Apologies in advance if this is a stupid question.

Obviously it will only contain changes available at the moment of running python setup.py install.
