If pure hashes are not friendly enough, you can use something like:

git describe $(git rev-list -1 HEAD -- <file>)

What do I miss here?

quoted

git describe $(git rev-list -1 HEAD -- *pm)

fatal: cannot describe 'c2220c8a544af5cd5419e238eb5f43b1f079ad85'

It cannot be described because there is no annotated tag before this
commit. Add --always to show the abbreviated commit as fallback.
