Repository: pre-commit/pre-commit
Issue: autoupdate: flip-flop between shallow-fetched tags

```yaml
repos:
  - repo: https://github.com/asottile/pyupgrade
    rev: v1.20.1
    hooks:
      - id: pyupgrade
```

```console
$ pre-commit autoupdate
Updating https://github.com/asottile/pyupgrade...updating v1.20.1 -> v1.20.0.
$ pre-commit autoupdate
Updating https://github.com/asottile/pyupgrade...updating v1.20.0 -> v1.20.1.
$ pre-commit autoupdate
Updating https://github.com/asottile/pyupgrade...updating v1.20.1 -> v1.20.0.
$ pre-commit autoupdate
Updating https://github.com/asottile/pyupgrade...updating v1.20.0 -> v1.20.1.
```

Seems to be related to shallow clones as I can only reproduce there.
