My release attempt in #408 did not go well because the release artifacts were not named correctly. This fixes an issue described by actions/checkout#290 where checkouts of annotated tags overwrite the annotation which breaks
git describe
. That means that version detection is broken in CI during releases which causes artifacts to have the wrong information.This applies the workaround described in that issue to
git fetch --tags --force
after the checkout step to undo the overwrite done in the checkout step.
