Quoting that commit message for context:
mk/targets.mk: Add version fallback for tag-less repos
* mk/targets.mk (ORGVERSION, GITVERSION): Get version from lisp/org.el
header if it can't be retrieved from git-describe.
As of elpa.git's ee03829f90 (Finalize the new master branch,
2020-12-14), org-release and org-git-version are empty strings in
https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/org-*.tar files. This is because the
new setup executes `make autoloads info' in an elpa.git worktree with
an Org branch checked out, but elpa.git of course doesn't have Org's
release tags.
Maintaining the org.el version header has been a point of contention
in the past [1], but the header has been there for a while now. Use
it to avoid the above elpa.git issue. In the case of the master
branch, the org-release value generated in a tag-less repo will have a
different version than the one from a regular repo because org.el's
version header has a "-dev" suffix, but that's still better than an
empty version.

I of course can't say for sure, but based on my commit message (in
particular the last paragraph), it sounds like I was aware of the
discrepancy but didn't realize it'd cause the downstream "Invalid
version syntax" issue mentioned by Bill in
<alpine.DEB.2.22.394.2109231400490.7770@shell3.miskatonic.org>.

Thanks.

I think it'd be better to say something more specific about the change
rather than say "properly" and assume the reader knows what the writer
has in mind.

Please say what the bug is. Can you give a sparse outline of the call
chain for the error mentioned in Bill's message?

It looks like you've unintentionally added a ')' to the end of the
GITVERSION line.
Another approach would be to update org.el's version to contain
something that still signals "-dev" but won't trigger the "Invalid
version syntax" (which, based on grepping the Emacs repo, is signaled by
version-to-list). But given that in the current setup a clone with tags
wouldn't use the header version, stripping -dev for consistency sounds
like the way to go.
