'git describe' is indeed the tool for this. You have not said in what
way it fails, so here's an educated guess:
Up until 7e425c4 (describe: Make --tags and --all match lightweight
tags more often, 2008-10-13) which will only be in 1.6.1, using --tags
does not match a lightweight tag if there is also an annotated tag
available.
