Release tags aren't reachable from main

[sqs]

How we use Git tags changed at v4.0.0-rc.1. As a result, git describe reports v4.0.0-rc.1-2698-gd7335437dc (expected: something like v4.3.1-NNNN-...).

The reason is that the tagged commits for each release are no longer commits that are reachable from main (i.e., we tag commits that are branched off from main on release branches).

I see why this is done, and it makes sense. But some tools assume git describe output is meaningful, and it no longer is with this approach (which causes problems with a tool I'm using to publish binary builds of Sourcegraph App, goreleaser). I can work around it easily.

I just wanted to mention this in case anyone else is confused and searches our issue tracker about this problem.
