Teach git-describe how to run name-rev

Often users want to know not which tagged version a commit came
after, but which tagged version a commit is contained within.
This latter task is the job of git-name-rev, but most users are
looking to git-describe to do the job.

Junio suggested we make `git describe --contains` run the correct
tool, `git name-rev`, and that's exactly what we do here.  The output
of name-rev was adjusted slightly through the new --name-only option,
allowing describe to execv into name-rev and maintain its current
output format.

 DESCRIPTION

@@ -31,6 +31,11 @@ OPTIONS
 	Instead of using only the annotated tags, use any tag
 	found in `.git/refs/tags`.
 
+--contains::
+	Instead of finding the tag that predates the commit, find
+	the tag that comes after the commit, and thus contains it.
+	Automatically implies --tags.
+
 --abbrev=<n>::
 	Instead of using the default 8 hexadecimal digits as the
 	abbreviated object name, use <n> digits.

 	Read from stdin, append "(<rev_name>)" to all sha1's of nameable
 	commits, and pass to stdout
 
+--name-only::
+	Instead of printing both the SHA-1 and the name, print only
+	the name.  If given with --tags the usual tag prefix of
+	"tags/" is also ommitted from the name, matching the output
