In order to get tags, including in submodules, we use our own fetching procedure on top of checkout@v2. A problem occuring in about 1% of jobs was that some submodules inexplicably did not have an "origin" remote configured. "git submodule sync" configures the "origin" remote in those cases. No cause for the problem was determined. Besides keeping up to date on actions/checkout, @v2 is supposed to fix a bug where "re-run" of a pull request would fail checking out the code.

@v2is supposed to fix a bug where "re-run" of a pull request would fail checking out the code. This appeared to work when I tried it in my a PR in my clone.
