   I did a bit of looking into this. Here's what I think is happening:

   • In the build process, readthedocs checks out the code using the command
     git clone --no-single-branch --depth 50 https://github.com/python-control/python-control .
   • This gets the latest code, but that code does not have the version set => we end up with __version__ being set to 'dev'.
   • In doc/conf.py, if version is 'dev' then the source code links point to the main branch.

   Possible fixes:

   • Checkout the code via pip
   • Figure out if there is a tag on the commit and use that to set the version number
   • (something smarter than these...)
