You need to find an appropriate pair of placeholders that can
represent "git describe $it" and "git describe --contains $it".
I am tempted to suggest a more generalized way that is not limited
to describe at all, perhaps like this:
$ git show --format='%x( git describe %H )'
$ git show --format='%x( git describe --contains %H )'
