The release tags are not made in the master branch, so git describe won't pick them up. They also don't have a meaning for master, as there are distinct commits between the two. > The tag-tag?

A new dev tag is made every time a release is branched off, to indicate development of the next ffmpeg version started there, so using it for the version number seems natural to me.
