"git describe" not reading proper tagged release
See original GitHub issueFound this out in another package. It turns out that when a release is tagged using GitHub’s web interface, it does not play well with “git describe” command. The current workaround is to tag it using “git” command line, push the tag out, and then insert release notes after-the-fact.
$ git tag
v2.6.0
v2.6.1
v2.6.2
v2.6.3
$ git show-ref --tags -d

$ git describe
fatal: No annotated tags can describe 'a9943ebfb868e53bdb5d897db05617b06de282ba'.
However, there were unannotated tags: try --tags.
$ git describe --tags
