Description of the problem

Good morning

I am pushing a tag to cut a release:

git tag v0.32.1
git push origin v0.32.1

The lint job fires on CI and attempts to determine the changes.

The action retrieves a wrong "before" commit from the github context
here.

The before SHA posted to the github API is 0.

failed to fetch push patch: RequestError [HttpError]: Not Found - https://docs.github.com/rest/commits/commits#compare-two-commits Prepared env in 809ms at /home/runner/work/_actions/golangci/golangci-lint-action/v7/dist/run/index.js:44487:21 at process.processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:95:5) at async requestWithGraphqlErrorHandling (/home/runner/work/_actions/golangci/golangci-lint-action/v7/dist/run/index.js:44213:20) at async Job.doExecute (/home/runner/work/_actions/golangci/golangci-lint-action/v7/dist/run/index.js:53330:18) { status: 404, response: { url: 'https://api.github.com/repos/go-swagger/go-swagger/compare/0000000000000000000000000000000000000000...aece8f0e60b8195764c9c42fb615d82c42a19cd8', status: 404, headers: { 

Now golangci-lint runs like:

golangci-lint run --new-from-rev 0 

and spews out older linting issues that have remained there for some time.

This is related to, but different from #996
