To follow up on myself, this is the output of 'git describe --debug
--tags' and 'git log --oneline --decor --parents' for each of the
two repos.
The one irritating thing is that in two of them the inital commit is
not the bottommost in the log output.
To make my expectation more concrete: I would expect 'git describe'
to output the tag where the number of commits that are in HEAD but not
in the tag is the lowest, and that would (always) be the bl-1 here.
