git-describe(3) says:
--abbrev=<n>
Instead of using the default 7 hexadecimal digits as the
abbreviated object name, use <n> digits, or as many digits
as needed to form a unique object name. An <n> of 0 will
suppress long format, only showing the closest tag.
The number of "digits needed to form a unique object name" depends
on your git repository, e.g. 1) how you cloned it, 2) how many local
branches you have, etc.
In the full cloned repository, --abbrev=1 for v1.21.1 gave me 5-digits
as of writing (but it may increase in the future):
$ git checkout v1.21.1
$ git describe --tags --always --long --abbrev=1 --match 'v*'
v1.21.1-0-g988d2
In the repository cloned with --depth 1000, it is 4-digits.
$ git clone --depth 1000 git://git.ipxe.org/ipxe.git
$ ipxe
$ git checkout v1.21.1
$ git describe --tags --always --long --abbrev=1 --match 'v*'
v1.21.1-0-g988d
To make the version string deterministic, use --abbrev=32 and then
take the first 7 characters, which is reasonable for this project.
