Motivation
When using the plugin in GitHub Actions with shallow clones (e.g. default actions/checkout),
workflows currently need to set:
Without a full git history, the plugin cannot discover existing version tags,
which results in falling back to the default development version.
To remove this requirement from CI workflows and make the plugin more robust in shallow environments,
this PR introduces an optional feature flag (
nebula.release.features.unshallowEnabled) to automatically deepen the repository when needed.When enabled:
If no tag is found after the configured maximum iterations, it logs a warning and continues with existing behavior.
If the repository is not shallow → no change in behavior.
If the clone already contains the tag within the shallow depth → no deepening is performed.
I belive this solution can be set as default in the future!
