Although I have my doubts it would explain all the issues I've hit upon with git's CLI. For example: I don't see why annotated tags aren't the default. Or why non-annotated ones even exist at all. When I made <https://github.com/Abscissa/gen-package-version>, I noticed that it'll *only* work if the version tags are "annotated" tags. Because otherwise "git describe" doesn't retrieve the tag. Doesn't even matter one bit *what* the tag's message is, just that it exists. Why? Who knows! It's git!
If you add the --tags flag to "describe" it will work. -- /Jacob Carlborg
