Although I have my doubts it would explain all the issues I've hit upon

*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.
Ok, I see (sorta). But it does work without --tags if it's an annotated
tag. Clear as mud.
Yea, see, these are the reasons I consider git's cli to be god-awful.
