Sometimes it's interesting to have a simple output that answers the question: Are there commits after the latest tag?

One possible solution is to just print a "+" (plus) signal after the tag. Example:
> git describe --abbrev=1 5261ec5d5
v2.1.0-rc1-2-g5261ec
> git describe --abbrev=+ 5261ec5d5
v2.1.0-rc1+
