Do you have any idea why this is happening? This is breaking YoWASP's script that adds version info to the packages.

It looks like there's something different about the v0.3.1 tag:

Tag: v0.3.1
object b2d2fa0127986cf6c0ee8d6cbc482c247cb79f4c
type commit
tag v0.3.1
tagger Gwenhael Goavec-Merou <gwenhael.goavec-merou@trabucayre.com> 1624712773 +0200

v0.3.1

and the v0.4.0 tag:

Tag: v0.4.0
tree e493d73ae3f6e4b925505f25e402d57c5f149d38

Oh, I think I got confused by "annotated tags" existing in git as separate entities from "lightweight tags". Looks like I need git describe --tags HEAD. Sorry for the noise!
