Using actions/checkout@v6 fails with git error #9
Description
Recently updated our workflow to use actions/checkout@v6 and afterwards this failed. I'm raising this here for awareness of other users of this workflow incase they come across the same issue. To resolve the issue, went back to the previous version of actions/checkout.
