[GOBBLIN-101] git describe --tags --always returns gobblin_0.6.2 not gobblin_0.7.0

Description

The `git describe -tags --always` returns `gobblin_0.6.2[commitId]` rather than `gobblin_0.7.0-[commitId]` - even though the tag `gobblin_0.7.0` has been pushed and released to the master repo: https://github.com/linkedin/gobblin/tree/gobblin_0.7.0

I'm not sure why this is happening, but when users build Gobblin locally it creates a distribution `gobblin-distribution-0.6.2-[...].tar.gz` rather than `gobblin-distribution-0.7.0-[...].tar.gz`.

All I have found out is that there is some difference between the `gobblin_0.7.0` tag and the `gobblin_0.6.2` tag:

The command `git show gobblin_0.7.0` returns:

```

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4154485/git-describe-ignores-a-tag

If I am reading it correctly, it resembles to what OP faced in the thread
above:
[abtiwari@abtiwari-mn1 ~/Work/temp/gobblin] 10:10:09 $ git show
gobblin_0.6.2

I tried:
git tag -fa -m Release 0.7.0 gobblin_0.7.0
3ab15950ad904fea84dde32bfd705c2b79a656dd

.. but that didn't make any difference either

```
