From gitrevisions(7), r1..r2 is “commits that are reachable from r2
excluding those that are reachable from r1”.  Using Peff's example:

J..v3.4 is going to include B, C, D, E and F.  However, the “distance”
used by ‘git describe’ uses the shortest path between the commits
(J-D-E-F), which doesn't care about development between A and D.

Here's a simplified graph with d1-* tags for the v3.5-rc1~120^3~76^2
description and d2-* tags for the v3.4~479^2~9^2 description [1]:

This shows the v3.4-rc1 bypass from 9521d83 (d1-C-66) to 659c36f
(d1-C-65) which sets up the v3.5-rc1~120^3~76 description.  It also
shows the c5905afb..v3.3 commits on the branch from c5905af's fork
(between v3.3-rc1 and v3.3) and v3.3.

Cheers,
Trevor

[1]: The simplified graph is from:

  $ git tag A c5905afb
  $ git tag d1-B v3.5-rc1~120^3~76
  $ git tag d1-C v3.5-rc1~120^3~1
  $ git tag d1-D v3.5-rc1~120^3
  $ git tag d1-E v3.5-rc1~120
  $ git tag d1-F v3.5-rc1~1
  $ for x in $(seq 76); do git tag d1-C-$x v3.5-rc1~120^3~$x; done
  $ git tag d1-C-65-2 d1-C-65^2
  $ git tag d2-B v3.4~479^2~9
  $ git tag d2-C v3.4~479^2~1
  $ git tag d2-D v3.4~479^2
  $ git tag d2-E v3.4~479
  $ git tag -d sound-fixes sound-3.4 v3.3-rc{2,3,4,5,6,7} v3.4-rc{2,3,4,5,6,7}
  $ git log --graph --topo-order --oneline --decorate --simplify-by-decoration 
v3.5-rc1
  …simplified graph…
  $ git tag -d A d1-{B,C,D,E,F} d2-{B,C,D,E} d1-C-65-2 
  $ for x in $(seq 76); do git tag -d d1-C-$x; done

With some additional tweaks to cull the d1-C-* bits we don't care
about and clear up the 659c36f (d1-C-65) merge.
