Add a tip to show the most recent tag
This tip shows how to display the most recent tag reachable on the current branch. The use of `--abbrev=0` is necessary otherwise the output would contain additional information (specifically part of a commit hash), appended to the tag name. It's worth noting that this command is usable for branches other than the current one, e.g. $ git describe --tags --abbrev=0 master That would show the most recent tag on the `master` branch regardless of whatever branch the user is currently on.
