"git describe" takes a commit and gives it a name based on tags in
its neighbourhood. The command does take a commit-ish but when
given a tag that points at a commit, it should dereference the tag
before computing the name for the commit.
As the whole processing is internally delegated to name-rev, if we
unwrap tags down to the underlying commit when invoking name-rev, it
will make the name-rev issue an error message based on the unwrapped
object name (i.e. either 40-hex object name, or "$tag^0") that is
different from what the end-user gave to the command when the commit
cannot be described. Introduce an internal option --peel-tag to the
name-rev to tell it to unwrap a tag in its input from the command
line.
