Ok, so we've got two options

 - Change the code so it has sane fallback if the tags are all missing

 - Set GIT_DEPTH in the affected jobs to a value that is larger than
   the maximum number of commits we expect in the course of a single
   dev cycle, plus 20% grace on top, so that we're guaranteed enough
   history to describe one tag.
