What is the difference between git describe --abbrev=0 and git describe --abrev=0 --tags

I have a repo with the following output:

$ git tag
product-picker-v1
v0.0.1
v0.0.2
v0.0.3
v0.0.4
v0.1
v0.1.1
v0.1.10
v0.1.11
v0.1.12
v0.1.12.1
v0.1.13
v0.1.14
v0.1.15
v0.1.2
v0.1.3
v0.1.4
v0.1.5
v0.1.6
v0.1.7
v0.1.8
v0.1.9

$ git describe --abbrev=0
v0.1.14

$ git describe --abbrev=0 --tags
v0.1.15

Why do I get one tag back when I run git describe without the --tags option?

It is right in the documents: --tags draws from all tags, not just annotated ones.
