Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/nektos/act/issues/258

I need to be able to set the depth input to at least 2 for actions/checkout in my workflow -- it's needed by another action further down in the workflow. But act doesn't seem to pick up the setting or act on it.

No matter what I set fetch-depth to I get this error:

::error::This appears to be a shallow clone of your project. To determine whether the project version has changed and a new tag needs to be created, you should set a `fetch-depth` of 2 or higher on `@actions/checkout`.

@mgerring - can you share the snippet of your workflow yaml with the checkout step?

steps:
    - name: Checkout repository
      uses: actions/checkout@v2
      with:
        fetch-depth: 2
