For using
git describeand retrieving a successful result, the Git history including the tags has to be present. The issue is thatactions/checkoutperforms a shallow clone of the depth1, i.e. a clone without history.In our case, we might only require the history with tags from HEAD until the currently checked-out commit. As this library's history is not the biggest and we currently do not observe performance issues, I decided to not perform a premature optimisation and just check out the whole Git history with tags.
