Subject: [PATCH] Revert "Pass --always to 'git describe'."

This reverts commit 8638d78c76ab7689666ccacb615d1ac399961f2d.
Since it doesn't actually fix the original problem with shallow clones,
it returns just a hash, not something we (currently) can extract as a
version string in the form things are expecting.  Which means the .pc
version checks for things using the library at least will still fail.
