Hello there,
What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your
issue)
git log --format='%(describe)' -n1
produces a different result than
git describe --tags
What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior)
I expected both to produce (roughly) the same result. At least,
reference the same tag.
What happened instead? (Actual behavior)
git log --format='%(describe)' -n1
v0.11.0
and
git log --format='%(describe)' -n1
v0.3.0-beta-253-g4ccd023
What's different between what you expected and what actually happened?
git log with %(describe) placeholder does not seem to find the most
recent tag as git-describe would do. Is this intended?

I tried to reproduce your issue. I have linux.git shallow repo (master
branch pulls from torvalds' mainline tree and stable branches pull from
stable tree). HEAD currently points to v5.15-rc5 tag.
The result (note that I use custom-compiled Git):

Yes. Good one. Absolutely correct. I wasn't able to reproduce that with
Linux repository, too.
Problem is observed only in some repositories while others seem fine.
I was able to reproduce it with a freshly cloned version of:

if the repository you are looking at has non annotated tags (the ones
that have no signature or message and that are created by default with
`git tag`), then that is expected and explained in the documentation
for the '--tags' option you are using.

Yes, that's the case in the example repo he showed. I don't think there
is currently a way to convince %(describe) to use "--tags" in the
underlying describe command, but it seems like a reasonable extension if
somebody is interested in writing it. We already take some options to
%(describe), so the syntax is prepared to add more.
