[PATCH 1/2] says:
git describe --contains --first-parent is forbidden because git name-rev
(which is called by that) favors first-parent transversal already,
although not strictly so.
but the end-users won't read the log message, so something like that
need to be here, I guess.
But if "name-rev" does more-or-less first-parent anyway, perhaps
simply ignoring --first-parent when doing --contains may make more
sense?
