When compiling from source with the repo, the tags of 1.5.0 and v1.5.1 were not annotated (-a flag when generated the tag) and thus did not show up when using the git describe command. Adding the --tag option considers all tag names and allowed versions 1.5.0 and v1.5.1 to be parsed. See https://git-scm.com/docs/git-describe.
The other change was made to remove the leading v if the tag name contained one. This was done as the code in each utility prints out a leading v already, assuming the version was just a number. Version 1.5.1 was tagged as v1.5.1 necessitating this change.
