Sometimes it's interesting to have a simple output that answers the question:
Are there commits after the latest tag?

One possible solution is to just print a "+" (plus) signal after the tag. 
Example:

> git describe --abbrev=1 5261ec5d5
v2.1.0-rc1-2-g5261ec

> git describe --abbrev=+ 5261ec5d5
v2.1.0-rc1+


Jonh Wendell (2):
  describe: support the syntax "--abbrev=+"
  describe: Add documentation for "--abbrev=+"
