git log with %(describe) placeholder does not find most recent tag

Hello there,


What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your
issue)

    git log --format='%(describe)' -n1

produces a different result than

    git describe --tags

What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior)

I expected both to produce (roughly) the same result. At least,
reference the same tag.

What happened instead? (Actual behavior)

    git log --format='%(describe)' -n1
    v0.11.0

and

    git log --format='%(describe)' -n1
    v0.3.0-beta-253-g4ccd023

What's different between what you expected and what actually happened?

git log with %(describe) placeholder does not seem to find the most
recent tag as git-describe would do. Is this intended?
