I don't have this alias and thus don't know what it does exactly.
Further it would be important to know from where your git clone
(of libburn ?) was made.

Most noticable is the lack of tag names in the ouput of your program run.
Locally performed
  git tag
lists these names:
  release-1.4.8
  release-1.5.0
  release-1.5.2
  release-1.5.2.pl01
  release-1.5.4
  release-1.5.6

I cannot get "git tag" to list dates, which might be due to lack of git
experience.

But
  https://dev.lovelyhq.com/libburnia/libburn/tags
and locally performed
  git log git log --decorate=full --tags
show plausible dates and tag names:
