allow fetch tags too

current it will add --no-tags

but i hope can fetch tag too

that is help when wanna build changelog base on tag in github actions

As a workaround, you can fetch tags as a step after the actions/checkout, as it leaves git in a valid state with credentials to do other operations. e.g.:

      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - name: Get tags
        run: git fetch --tags origin

As I understand it, this will fetch all tags but that’s preferable to fetching all history when you want a tag.

[anthony-steele-cko]

It is correct that if you add fetch-depth: 0 then you will get tags.

But this leaves you with two choices:

• get no tags ( fetch-depth > 0 )
• get the whole history, everything back to the start of the repo ( fetch-depth = 0 )

If you need the latest tag, then the first won’t work at all. If the repo is large and old, the then second isn’t great either.

We should be able to get a bounded number of recent commits and tags by specifying some options.
