If you fetched v0.99.7b tag and built it, hopefully it should say 0.99.7b otherwise you found a big bug.

If you pulled from "master" branch, then --version would still say 0.99.7; I agree it is confusing. On the other hand, I do not think we would want to increment the version string with every little changes, so...
