Barebox 'git describe' strangeness

Hi barebox list,

For some reason 'git describe' shows me:

v2009.12.0-178-gdc882c3

I.e. git doesn't find the more recent v2010.06.0 tag. What is worse is that 
the top-level Makefile takes the '-178-gdc882c3' part and attaches it to 
'2010.06.0', making the output of the 'version' command:

barebox 2010.06.0-00178-gcc827a1 (Jul  1 2010 - 09:02:45)

which is plain wrong.

Can anyone here explain what's going on?

BTW, I'm using git version 1.7.1 from Debian testing.
