 When you write

  git log --branches --exclude=origin/* --remotes

--exclude=origin/* applies only to --remotes, but not to --branches.

Well for describe I don't think the order matters.

That is certainly true today. But I would value consistency more. We 
would lose it if some time in the future 'describe' accepts --branches 
and --remotes in addition to --tags and --all.
