Hello, hope you're good. I'm running some experiments in order to build a custom action that demands the tags from the repo. I noticed that it was possible, in theory, just using the fetch-tags: true, but it does not work. I can only get the tags if I use the fetch-depth: 0.

Example workflow:

jobs:
  custom-action:
    runs-on: ubuntu-22.04
    steps:
      - name: Checkout repo
        uses: actions/checkout@v4
        with:
          path: tagaction
          fetch-tags: true
      - name: Try to get the tags
        run: |
          cd tagaction
          git tag --sort -creatordate

The last command (git tag --sort -creatordate) shows nothing in this case.

But, if I use the fetch-depth: 0, it lists correctly the tags from the repository.
