This may cause confusion because we've already fetched the tags (by fetch-* fields), so if it's not a necessary thing I think it's best to drop it.
Of course, except if you've already checked that and it should be there for things to work as expected. If this is the case, a simple comment would be great.

I agree that it shouldn't be necessary, but people seem to be recommending this as a workaround in multiple issues online. Including this popular one

I agree with babak though, if it isn't needed, just remove it, I feel like fetch-tags will work

Why fetch-* options are not used here (i.e., in charm.yaml), but have been used in charm test actions? I imagine both should have the same interest in git tags, right?

Description
Multiple issues reported issues with fetching tags and latest versions in older actions/checkout version.
see actions/checkout#579 and actions/checkout#448
Hopefully by migrating to the new checkout v4 and forcing fetch-depth to 0 and asking for fetch-tags can solve the issue. In some cases, I add a separate command to git fetch --tags explicitly which should come at no cost given that tags should already be fetched in the previous steps.
