I was wondering, what should be shown for the update?

Mason shows you the new release which makes sense since you are usually installing a whole library / framework / etc. However for plugins it's common that they aren't tagged at all. Should it just show the latest commit on master/main branch?

Also, what should be done for the plugins that are pinned? Should those be ignored for the update?
