What about PV? Do you really want just "git"?

There is a 1.1 and 1.2 tag in the git repository. However, some of the
MAC related features come well after 1.2 with no subsequent tag. For
this reason I left it as "git". Is there a better way to do this? Should
I call it 1.2+ or something?

The PV determined from the SRC_URI is simply git. Martin is suggesting you might want to set it to something different in the recipe to give a more meaningful (and useful) value i.e:

meta/recipes-connectivity/gypsy/gypsy_git.bb:PV = "0.8+git${SRCPV}"

Cheers,
Joshua
