The warning was introduced by 212945d4 ("Teach git-describe to verify
annotated tag names before output") by Shawn (cc:'d).

The following patch should fix your issue by making describe ignore the
"tags/" path prefix of, well, tags, which is only present if you call
it with the option --all.

diff --git a/builtin-describe.c b/builtin-describe.c
