Some jobs require knowing the tag. Usually this is available through the GITHUB_REF environment variable if the workflow runs on.push.tags.
Since Github Actions cannot trigger other workflows, we are not able to have a workflow to bump the semver, then another to trigger off that.
For workflows triggered by on.push.branches: ["master"], GITHUB_REF=refs/heads/master.
So we need to get the tag ourselves (eg: git rev-parse or git describe --tags). However, the checkout action does a shallow checkout.
We then end up with repeated blocks to fetch tags, like:

This should become an action.
