It doesn't change with every commit.  ".90" is fixed.  "2.7.90" is the
version OVS uses for the master branch that will eventually become
2.8.

In terms of keeping it up to date, conf.py is going to show a change
as soon as the version changes, but it should only be when a new
branch gets created, or after a point release is made from a release
branch.
