Possible to disable tag comparison and only refer to "Version" from style.css

I don't see how it's necessary to check both the "Version" number and the github tag when looking for updates. I'm using the github app for mac which doesn't support tagging... so in order to use Theme Updater I'm forced to switch to the command line each time (to update the tag).

Is there an easy way to disable this part of the update check?
