the latest tag should be removed when the CI is done

[2bndy5]

Just tried to commit to my backlogged-updates branch:

> git pull --tags origin backlogged-updates
From https://github.com/cpp-linter/cpp-linter-action
 * branch            backlogged-updates -> FETCH_HEAD
 ! [rejected]        latest     -> latest  (would clobber existing tag)

After #83 was opened, the latest tag was moved to a different branch which seemed to cause conflicts when my machine tried to do git pull.

I would suggest

Removing the tag latest let me push/pull again.

This is getting annoying when there's 2 PRs open. Related to #71 (see https://github.com/cpp-linter/cpp-linter-action/actions/runs/2845006784)

From the CI failed log, not sure if need to checkout all branches and tags.

This issue should be fixed in #81, can it be closed?

[2bndy5]

The only thing I did to the workflow in that PR was add the needs: [add-tag] to the subsequent steps. We can close this for now, but we may encounter this issue again...

I think the main culprit was having more than 1 PR open at the same time, which caused problems moving the latest tag around difficult because the repo was checked out with a shallow history

cpp-linter-action/.github/workflows/run-test.yml

Lines 15 to 16 in 600b1aa

This could use an added
