I found the recent thread about git describe --contains. (and now I
realize this is also why git describe --contains doesn't work quite well
for the same repository).

Now the question is what can we done in the short term? (short of
introducing something like generation numbers) I tried increasing
SLOP and to remove the date check (with the hope that making one or
both configurable might help). Neither fixed the particular test
case I started this thread with.
