HTTP 400 during git fetch --tags

[martinjlowm]

We started to experience the following error this morning:

error: RPC failed; HTTP 400 curl 92 HTTP/2 stream 7 was not closed cleanly: CANCEL (err 8)
fatal: expected 'acknowledgments'

It occurs during the git fetch --tags step - I am able to drop into a tmate shell and run the same step without any errors. I noticed from the Dockerfile that dependencies, including git, is installed from node:20-alpine and may be different from the main GHA image (e.g. ubuntu-latest).

I made an attempt at converting the action to a composite one and install the dependencies through Nix instead and I managed to make that work. This is mainly just a tip for anyone else facing the same problem. The setup time is slower than Docker, but offers a bit more control on the version of the dependencies: martinjlowm/[email protected]
