Some packages use <package>_git.bb as filename. For example ltrace If the PV variable isn't set in the recipe will the license.manifest file contain PACKAGE NAME: ltrace PACKAGE VERSION: git RECIPE NAME: ltrace LICENSE: GPLv2 Use RCPL37 but suspect that it is the same for later RCPLs. Suspect that this is corrected in WRL8 but haven't checked The same happen if you use the archiver bbclass to generate a FOSS archive for the build. Note that there might be other packages with the same problem but it was the only that we found when we checked the license.manifest

So we see a number of packages where the version is listed as just "git".
