Hi!

Thanks for the project, it helps a lot to debug issues and all that! Its awesome!

So, yesterday we had that github outage in which webhook weren't being delivered. I thought it would be a great idea to use act to deploy locally in these situations, but... my workflows have a tag filtering step, and seems like act always uses master.

Would you be interested in something to hack around that? In theory, just walk on files on .git/refs/tags and check if the contents of any of them match .git/HEAD contents and glue it together with act.

I'm working on a hacky-ish implementation BTW :)
