GitLab CI/CD: Weird Tag Behavior

While setting up Publisher for a private company, I found weird behavior: the tags from previous job is carried over to the release job. This causes problem because it triggers unnecessary tag releases.

To fix this, just set the GIT_STRATEGY variable to clone instead of fetch. Reference: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/runners/configure_runners.html#configure-runner-behavior-with-variables

variables:
  GIT_STRATEGY: clone

See the change context here: https://gitlab.com/chez14/publisher/-/commit/d1f7cb50c5d0461b182c622fc2bed395e56f6c26.
