This PR fixes several issues with tag handling in the checkout action:
1. fetch-tags: true now works (fixes#1471)
- Tags refspec is now included in getRefSpec() when fetchTags=true
- Previously tags were only fetched during a separate fetch that was
overwritten by the main fetch
2. Tag checkout preserves annotations (fixes#290)
- Tags are fetched via refspec (+refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*) instead of
--tags flag
- This fetches the actual tag objects, preserving annotations
3. Tag checkout with fetch-tags: true no longer fails (fixes#1467)
- When checking out a tag with fetchTags=true, only the wildcard
refspec is used (specific tag refspec is redundant)
Changes:
- src/ref-helper.ts: getRefSpec() now accepts fetchTags parameter and
prepends tags refspec when true
- src/git-command-manager.ts: fetch() simplified to always use --no-tags,
tags are fetched explicitly via refspec
- src/git-source-provider.ts: passes fetchTags to getRefSpec()
- Added E2E test for fetch-tags option

* Improve checkout performance on Windows runners by upgrading @actions/github dependency
Re: https://github.com/actions/checkout/issues/1186
@dscho discovered that the checkout action could stall for a
considerable amount of time on Windows runners waiting for PowerShell
invocations made from 'windows-release' npm package to complete.
Then I studied the dependency chain to figure out where
'windows-release' was imported:
'@actions/checkout'@main
<- '@actions/github'@2.2.0
<- '@octokit/endpoint'@6.0.1
<- '@octokit/graphql'@4.3.1
<- '@octokit/request'@5.4.2
<- '@octokit/rest'@16.43.1
<- 'universal-user-agent'@4.0.1
<- 'os-name'@3.1.0
<- 'windows-release'@3.1.0
'universal-user-agent' package dropped its dependency on 'os-name' in
https://github.com/gr2m/universal-user-agent/releases/tag/v6.0.0 .
'@actions/github' v3 removed dependency on '@octokit/rest'@16.43.1 and
allows users to move away from the old 'universal-user-agent' v4.
(https://github.com/actions/toolkit/pull/453)
This pull request attempts to update the version of '@actions/github'
used in the checkout action to avoid importing 'windows-release'.
Based on testing in my own repositories, I can see an improvement in
reduced wait time between entering the checkout action and git actually
starts to do useful work.
* Update .licenses
* Rebuild index.js
