Subject: [PATCH] fix: use alpine/git with explicit checkout for tag-based
 release builds

woodpeckerci/plugin-git:latest uses 'git switch' which fails on tag refs.
Switch to alpine/git with explicit git fetch + checkout commands.

Fixes: 'fatal: invalid reference: refs/tags/v*' in release pipeline.
