Currently, a check is done after fetch to ensure that the repo state has
not changed since the workflow was triggered. This check will reset the
checkout to the commit that triggered the workflow, even if the branch
or tag has moved since.
The issue is that the check currently sees what "object" the ref points
to. For an annotated tag, that is the annotation, not the commit. This
means the check always fails for annotated tags, and they are reset to
the commit, losing the annotation. Losing the annotation can be fatal,
as `git describe` will only match annotated tags.
The fix is simple: check if the tag points at the right commit, ignoring
any other type of object. This is done with the <rev>^{commit} syntax.
From the git-rev-parse docs:
> <rev>^{<type>}, e.g. v0.99.8^{commit}
> A suffix ^ followed by an object type name enclosed in brace pair
> means dereference the object at <rev> recursively until an object of
> type <type> is found or the object cannot be dereferenced anymore (in
> which case, barf). For example, if <rev> is a commit-ish,
> <rev>^{commit} describes the corresponding commit object. Similarly,
> if <rev> is a tree-ish, <rev>^{tree} describes the corresponding tree
> object. <rev>^0 is a short-hand for <rev>^{commit}.
If the check still fails, we will still reset the tag to the commit,
losing the annotation. However, there is no way to truly recover in this
situtation, as GitHub does not capture the annotation on workflow start,
and since the history has changed, we can not trust the new tag to
contain the same data as it did before.

Setting the `show-progress` option to false in the `with` section of the
workflow step will cause git fetch to run without `--progress`.
The motivation is to be able to suppress the noisy progress status
output which adds many hundreds of "remote: Counting objects: 85%
(386/453)" and similar lines in the workflow log.
This should be sufficient to resolve#894 and its older friends,
though the solution is different to the one proposed there because
it doesn't use the --quiet flag. IIUC git doesn't show the progress
status by default since the output is not a terminal, so that's why
removing the --progress option is all that's needed.
Adding the --quiet flag doesn't make a lot of difference once the
--progress flag is removed, and actually I think using --quiet would
suppress some other more useful output that would be better left
visible.

* Add support for sparse checkouts
* sparse-checkout: optionally turn off cone mode
While it _is_ true that cone mode is the default nowadays (mainly for
performance reasons: code mode is much faster than non-cone mode), there
_are_ legitimate use cases where non-cone mode is really useful.
Let's add a flag to optionally disable cone mode.

* Verify minimum Git version for sparse checkout
The `git sparse-checkout` command is available only since Git version
v2.25.0. The `actions/checkout` Action actually supports older Git
versions than that; As of time of writing, the minimum version is
v2.18.0.
Instead of raising this minimum version even for users who do not
require a sparse checkout, only check for this minimum version
specifically when a sparse checkout was asked for.

* Support sparse checkout/LFS better
Instead of fetching all the LFS objects present in the current revision
in a sparse checkout, whether they are needed inside the sparse cone or
not, let's instead only pull the ones that are actually needed.
To do that, let's avoid running that preemptive `git lfs fetch` call in
case of a sparse checkout.
An alternative that was considered during the development of this patch
(and ultimately rejected) was to use `git lfs pull --include <path>...`,
but it turned out to be too inflexible because it requires exact paths,
not the patterns that are available via the sparse checkout definition,
and that risks running into command-line length limitations.

* 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
When trying to list local branches to figure out what needs cleaned up during runs on non-ephemeral Actions Runners, we use git rev-parse --symbolic-full-name to get a list of branches. This can lead to ambiguous ref name errors when there are branches and tags with similar names.
Part of the reason we use rev-parse --symbolic-full-name vs git branch --list or git rev-parse --symbolic seems to related to a bug in Git 2.18. Until we can deprecate our usage of Git 2.18, I think we need to keep --symbolic-full-name. Since part of the problem is that these ambiguous ref name errors clog the Actions annotation limits, this is a mitigation to suppress those messages until we can get rid of the workaround.
