Add the --tags option to make 'git describe' look for > unannotated tags as well. I was never aware of this. Playing a bit with the Linux Kernel I realized that when I have some arbitrary branch and create an annotated tag on it the kernel reports 'linux-2.6.xx' without any suffixes which is even more wrong. So when we are using lightweight tags here we even increase the chance that this happens. I will create annotated tags in future anyway, so I think we can drop this patch.
