Subject: [PATCH] bash: Match lightweight tags in prompt

the bash prompt would display a commit's SHA1 when having checked out a
lightweight tag.  provide `--tags` to `git describe` in the completion
script, so it will display lightweight tag names (as it already does for
annotated tags)

Please drop these lines next time, so that I do not have to remove them in
my editor before applying.

Hmph.  Is your Shift-key broken (probably not, as you spelled SHA in
capital)?
