We already have tricks in place to sort RC before the release (without suffix), which is annoying as is but an established convention. IMO, any tag that begins with "5.1" should be close to the "5.1" release. This is true for RC tags and the release tag, but not for a "-dev" tag, so that tag should not exist. Branches are a complication there in that for branches that are essentially feature branches like 5.1, the tags don't apply to the master branch, so after the 5.1 release, the master would still show "5.0-3254+g3423425234". This can be fixed by doing a merge commit that formally brings 5.1 back into master (which would be a no-op unless someone messed up), at which point git-describe would find the 5.1 tag as nearest.
