Yeah. 1.1.x is the only branch where this works currently because it's
the only one with a tag that git can actually resolve.
For example, right now I get 1.1.1-16-g3108a12 on the 1.1.x branch.

Did you get it to ever not fall back to the sha though? I think the
issue is that our release branch tips are not descendants of the tags?
I only know there was weirdness here but never dug far enough to grok
the whole thing.

Yeah. Worked for me on master and all the release branches.
The --always ensures that it falls back to the same short hash we had
before when it can't find a tag.
