"object not found" error on shallow clones

[PSanetra]

It seems that "object not found" errors can happen on shallow clones. Workaround for the moment is to not use shallow clones. I think it is an issue in the go-git library. (There are multiple issues to "object not found" errors.)

There are 2 cases for me:

• When shallow cloning you need to mind the GIT_DEPTH to be deep enough.
• I found in one case that my branch was somehow disconnected from the default branch (where all tags are created for us). A rebase did the trick.

I believe this is an issue of the repository and the CI/CD but not from the tool.

Maybe it would be nice to have a more detailed error instead of just "object not found".
