How to use tags_pattern?

[mpern]

Hi!

I'm trying to figure out if I'm doing something wrong or if I found a bug:

I have a monorepo with a bunch of different tags flying around, so I try to use tags_pattern to filter the correct ones:

name: Build Widget
on:
  push:
    tags:
      - foo-*
jobs:
  Build-Widget:
    steps:
      - name: Check out repository code
        uses: actions/checkout@v4
        with:
          fetch-depth: 0
      - name: Check for changes
        id: changed-files
        uses: tj-actions/[email protected]
        with:
          tags_pattern: 'foo-*'
          files: |
            subfolder/**

But if I push my very first foo-1.0 tag, changed-files is not able to find the previous commit, errors out and reports no changes :(

Using local .git directory
  Running on a push event...
  Warning: No previous tag found
  Error: Unable to locate the commit sha: 
  Error: Please verify that the commit sha is correct, and increase the 'fetch_depth' input if needed
  Retrieving changes between  () → c0debabec0debabec0debabe (foo-1.0)
  All Done!

I also tried putting a dummy foo-0.1 tag on a previous commit, but no dice.
