Joe Lencioni 17a3272b8a Ensure git describe gives latest tag
I recently ran the upgrade instructions and I ended up with the version
I was already on. This happened because `git describe` describes a
commit using the most recent tag reachable from it. Since I already had
a tag checked out, it was describing the tag I had already checked out.

Thankfully, `git describe` accepts an optional commit-ish, which it will
use instead of what we have currently checked out. Testing this in my
terminal now gives me the latest tag on origin, which is what I am
interested in when updating to the latest version.

  ~/.nvm ❯❯❯ git describe --abbrev=0 --tags
  v0.30.1
  ~/.nvm ❯❯❯ git describe --abbrev=0 --tags origin
  v0.31.3

I also added it to the manual install instructions for consistency and
extra safety.
