 - Improved layout
   - `with.path` is always relative to `github.workspace`
   - Aligns better with container actions, where `github.workspace` gets mapped in
+- Fallback to REST API download
+  - When Git 2.18 or higher is not in the PATH, the REST API will be used to download the files
 - Removed input `submodules`
