Its the order the names were iterated out of the directory by
readdir().  Or the order they were sorted by lexographical ordering
during for_each_ref().  I can't remember if for_each_ref() sorts
the items before processing.

But either describe uses the first item it found for a given commit
if they have the same priority.  There's no notion of date being
factored into the decision of which tag to keep.

I'll work up a patch right now.
