+ * The following example partially reimplements the `git describe` command
+ * and some of its options.
+ *
+ * These commands should work:
+
+ * - Describe HEAD with default options (`describe`)
+ * - Describe specified revision (`describe master~2`)
+ * - Describe specified revisions (`describe master~2 HEAD~3`)
+ * - Describe HEAD with dirty state suffix (`describe --dirty=*`)
+ * - Describe consider all refs (`describe --all master`)
+ * - Describe consider lightweight tags (`describe --tags temp-tag`)
+ * - Describe show non-default abbreviated size (`describe --abbrev=10`)
+ * - Describe always output the long format if matches a tag (`describe --long v1.0`)
+ * - Describe consider only tags of specified pattern (`describe --match v*-release`)
+ * - Describe show the fallback result (`describe --always`)
+ * - Describe follow only the first parent commit (`describe --first-parent`)
+ *
+ * The command line parsing logic is simplified and doesn't handle
+ * all of the use cases.
