This does seem intentional given the commit message for
ff165f00c1065d94c0bcab8708364e6dc5655f5d

https://github.com/git/git/commit/ff165f00c1065d94c0bcab8708364e6dc5655f5d

However this is causing an issue when using `git describe --tags
--abbrev=0` where I expect the command to print out either the old tag
name or the new tag name, however it prints out neither:

https://github.com/pre-commit-ci/issues/issues/45

Is there a command that I can use to print out the old result (which
worked correctly) instead of the new, broken result?
