The same applies with --all when matching any other type of ref.
In 99% of the cases, "--all" will then give back the currently
checked out branch unless a revision is specified, right?
Yup.
`git describe --all` or `git describe --all HEAD`
would kick back the current branch you have checked out, assuming
you have a real branch under refs/heads and not some detached HEAD.
IMHO, that's what the user asked for.
True. I think this will raise questions of its usability though,
in particular if it considers remote branches too.
Otoh, I've never seen the use for "git describe --all" earlier
either, so I guess I think differently from those who want this
feature.
