I'm encountering what seems to be a similar issue. I'm working with the
`build` branch of https://github.com/aschrab/mutt currently at 65b7094.
Most of the commits in that repo come from a mercurial repository, but I
don't think that is really effecting things (other than being related to
the need to use the --tags option).
$ git describe --tags
mutt-1-7-1-rel-137-g65b7094
$ git describe --tags --match=mutt-1-7-2-rel
mutt-1-7-2-rel-6246-g65b7094
$ git rev-list --count mutt-1-7-2-rel..HEAD
126
$ git rev-list --count mutt-1-7-1-rel..HEAD
137
$ git --version
git version 2.10.2
The number of additional commits shown when I force the tag is
completely insane! That's nearly every commit that is part of that
branch:
1036$ git rev-list --count HEAD
6250
Both of the tags above should be reachable along the first-parent path.
If I add the `--first-parent` option to the describe command it picks
the expected tag and the number additional commits seems sane:
$ git describe --tags --first-parent
mutt-1-7-2-rel-14-g65b7094
