wouldn't this be useful?

$ git-describe --contains --tags 1b600e659
v1.5.0-rc3~34

Now we need to make sure that the name of the option --contains
is sane, I guess.

I think its sane.  I wanted to do a --contains option to describe
a while back, for this reason, but just didn't get around to it.
You also suggested it.  Looks like at least two people came up with
that option independently.  That's not too bad.

Feel free to edit the patch if something else better comes up.
