[PATCH 0/2] describe: support the syntax "--abbrev=+"

[Jonh Wendell <jonh.wendell@gmail.com>]

Sometimes it's interesting to have a simple output that answers the question:
Are there commits after the latest tag?

One possible solution is to just print a "+" (plus) signal after the tag. Example:

> git describe --abbrev=1 5261ec5d5
v2.1.0-rc1-2-g5261ec

> git describe --abbrev=+ 5261ec5d5
v2.1.0-rc1+

First patch was sent in Aug 23, re-sending with Signed-off-by and
CC'ing Junio.
