It seems that git describe does not like/honour tags that have not been
signed. With the 10.3 and 10.4 branchpoint being such, this leads to the
case you've pointed out.

IMHO it would be better to avoid removing/force pushing a signed tag,
yet I would not object if the majority of devs wishes to go that route.

Cheers,
Emil
