When preparing the notes to accompany a release that we issue upon receiving a pushed tag, we try to include both the subject and body of an annotation attached to the motivating Git tag. The "actions/checkout" GitHub Action does not fetch tag annotations by default, and coercing it to do so (in its current form) would require fetching all of the Git repository's history. Work around this problem by continuing to fetch the repository history shallowly, but then fetching the repository's tags separately afterward. Doing so makes these annotations available.

As in the similar bisontrails/rules_kustomize#15, when preparing the notes to accompany a release that we issue upon receiving a pushed tag, we try to include both the subject and body of an annotation attached to the motivating Git tag. The actions/checkout GitHub Action does not fetch tag annotations by default, and coercing it to do so (in its current form) would require fetching all of the Git repository's history.
