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?
I tried to reproduce your issue. I have linux.git shallow repo (master
branch pulls from torvalds' mainline tree and stable branches pull from
stable tree). HEAD currently points to v5.15-rc5 tag.
The result (note that I use custom-compiled Git):
```
$ /opt/git/bin/git version
git version 2.33.0
$ /opt/git/bin/git log -n 1 --format='%(describe)'
v5.15-rc5
$ /opt/git/bin/git describe --tags
v5.15-rc5
```
Both results (git log and git describe) are same.
