It does indeed, as demonstrated by the output of ./configure:

If you really want to get the 3.7.0 stable (which carries the official
label "v3.7.0.0" in the git repository) in this manner, you'll need to
issue an additional git command:
git clone https://github.com/POV-Ray/povray.git
git checkout v3.7.0.0
However, this really isn't the recommended way to get the POV-Ray source
code, as it actually copies the entire git repository (i.e. each and
every version) to your local computer, which is probably not what most
people want.
While you can also use the git command to get a snapshot of any
particular version of POV-Ray, my personal recommendation would be to
just download an archive of the desired version from the github website,
extract it into an empty directory, and commence with the prebuild step
from there.
At the time of writing, the following links should take you directly to
the download of for the 3.7.0 stable and the latest version from the
master branch, respectively:
https://github.com/POV-Ray/povray/archive/v3.7.0.0.tar.gz
https://github.com/POV-Ray/povray/archive/master.tar.gz
