If you try to use git describe --contains with --all, the exclude and
match patterns are silently ignored.

This results in unexpected behavior, as you may try to provide patterns
and expect it to change the result.

Check for this, and have describe die when it encounters this, instead
of silently ignoring the provided options.

I just found this while trying to use it, the patterns weren't being applied
properly.

This is pretty quick/dirty, I haven't had time to write a test, or anything.

Could be folded into an 'else if':

    } else if (patterns.nr || exclude_patterns.nr) {
        die(...);
    }

but not worth a re-roll.
