+### CI systems
+
+For `git-sv` to work, the git tag information must be present. Some CI systems omit the tags by default during the clone and it might be necessary to fetch tags manually.

+
+- define a custom clone step with `tags: true` when using `plugins/git-clone
+- perform a manual clone within a command
