Forget about my first answer.
git-describe shows the most recent tag that is reachable from a commit, but
80786722b116f5002c28e9e0200044f825b236f6 isn't reachable when your HEAD is
at 8482c7b836a66f874e7dfea9c35fee4a82ad817b.
As git says, there's only an unannotated tag:
$ git describe
fatal: No annotated tags can describe '8482c7b836a66f874e7dfea9c35fee4a82ad817b'.
However, there were unannotated tags: try --tags.
$ git describe --tags
man-pages-2.25-30-g8482c7b
