These are both the same binary:

https://www.spice-space.org/download/windows/spice-guest-tools/spice-guest-tools-0.141/spice-guest-tools-0.141.exe
https://www.spice-space.org/download/windows/spice-guest-tools/spice-guest-tools-latest.exe

So the number you are getting from scraping the commit
message (the harder way) isn't even accurate as far as I can
tell.

It seems like you're asking for help solving the wrong
problem (or, at least, a harder problem than necessary).
And even when folks suggest better ways to solve that
problem --using a proper API or calling git directly--
you're still doing it the more fragile way in the end.

I'd be inclined to suggest taking a step back and try to
describe the actual end goal and determine if the problem
you're trying to solve is even the right one to solve. :)

Whether that ends up being something relevant to this list
or not, I don't know.
