actions/checkout fails on git repos that use SHA256

[jwildeboer]

actions/checkout@v3 and @v4 fails on git repos that use SHA256 instead of SHA1.

Expected result: checkout works.

Actual result: checkout fails with couldn't find remote ref

The image I use (ghcr.io/catthehacker/ubuntu:act-latest) has git version 2.46.0 which supports SHA256 based repos, so it seems that is not where the problem is coming from.

Is there any updates on this issue?

[Ittihadyya]

this is still relevant.

Any updates on this? I see #1945 has approval but am wondering if there are any blockers to merging.

Thanks so much yangskyboxlabs for putting together a fix!

#1945 is still waiting for a response from a codeowner.

Still no news?
