Hi Bart,

For me, "git describe --tags" usually does _not_ return git tags but
git tags with some information added how far you are away from the
next tag:

  ~/zsh/zsh-upstream → git describe --tags
  local-test-3-g5ec469503

"local-test" is the tag and "3" the amount of commits since then and
"5ec469503" the current HEAD commit id (beginning).

That's to be expected for the above mentioned reasons unless you check
out that tag first.

It does not return tags. I think that's the problem here. :-)

		Kind regards, Axel
