Subject: git-describe manual page's one sentence summary is misleading
Message-ID: <CAKEGsXTY_rstoK4Gcga6XqkqKCeOkXdL-TjAWUu0Cqi6mWW7bA@mail.gmail.com>

According to the man of git-describe, http://git-scm.com/docs/git-describe

git-describe - Show the most recent tag that is reachable from a commit

It means that this command shows the name of the most recent tag.

However, actually, it construct a new tag name if the current commit
is not tagged.

I think, "git-describe - Describe a commit using the most recent tag
reachable from it" is a better summary.
