Fix git-describe tie-breakers

Correct behaviour as git 1.7.1.1 is to resolve tie-breakers to choose
the most recent tag.

https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/Documentation/RelNotes/1.7.1.1.txt:
* "git describe" did not tie-break tags that point at the same commit
   correctly; newer ones are preferred by paying attention to the
   tagger date now.
