The pinned SHA was actions/checkout v1 (Nov 2019), which defaults to an unlimited fetch depth and fetches refs/heads/* instead of the commit under test. A force-push seconds after the first push left the fetched refs without the original commit, and checkout failed with "fatal: unable to read tree". v7.0.1 defaults to fetch-depth 1 and fetches the exact commit SHA, so the SCIP job clones shallow and survives a force-push race.

Why
The SCIP workflow pinned
actions/checkout@50fbc622fc4ef5163becd7fab6573eac35f8462e, which is v1 from November 2019 (the old runner-plugin implementation). Itsfetch-depthdefaults to no limit, so every push fetched every branch and tag (~17.5k objects), and it fetchesrefs/heads/*rather than the commit under test.That caused this failure on #486: the branch was force-pushed one second after the first push, the fetch picked up the new tip only, and checkout of the original commit died with
fatal: unable to read tree.What
Bump to
actions/checkout@3d3c42e5aac5ba805825da76410c181273ba90b1 # v7.0.1, the current release.fetch-depth: 1, so the job clones shallow.github.sha, which GitHub still serves after a force-push, so the race goes away.scip-goandsrc code-intel uploadonly need the working tree andgit rev-parse HEAD; neither needs history.Test plan
The SCIP workflow runs on push to this branch; confirm the checkout step logs
--depth=1and the job passes.
