-====== GIT - git describe ======
-All this command does is show you the most recent annotated tag that is reachable from a commit.  This may be useful for build and release scripts and also to find out which version a change was introduced.
-This command takes a reference or commit hash and response with the most recent tag.  If there was a commit after the tag, the tag will be followed by the number of commits and a letter "g" with the new commit hash.
