Which is exactly what my git-hist does:

What do I miss here?

fatal: cannot describe 'c2220c8a544af5cd5419e238eb5f43b1f079ad85'

My git-hist is just a perl script that collects the combined information of
git-log --pretty=format:'%h %ct %s' git-show-ref --tags and git-blame file
I could also make it a reformatting wrapper over several calls to
git blame -l file | git name-rev --stdin --tags
Which is probably faster for a single file, but slower on multiple files
