When invoking ./contrib/git-describe.py directly, I get the error:
fatal: Not a valid object name /master

I think you need something like:
-   upstream = r.stdout.strip() if r.returncode else 'origin'
+   upstream = r.stdout.strip() if r.returncode == 0 else 'origin'

  * * *

Additionally, I observe the following (independent of the conversion):
For 7433458d871f6bfe2169b9d7d04fec64bb142924, I get:
    r0-80854-g7433458d871f6b
The question is whether we are happy that only reversions since
basepoints/gcc-5 have a version number or whether we want to
use releases/gcc-x.y.0 -> x.y as fallback when basepoint does not
exist or back-added more basepoints? Admittedly, this will add '.',
thus, maybe the answer is 'no'?
