Support Forgejo Actions if Forgejo is hosted on a subpath #61

Hi,

I talked with someone at FOSDEM about this, but I don't remember their name. They told be to open an issue here.

There is a long standing issue with the checkout action so that it doesn't work when the Git Forge (Github or Forgejo) is hosted under a supath. Github does not want to support this as it is only applicable to Forgejo instances. As the the repo for checkout action for Forgejo is a read-only mirror of the Github checkout action there is no way to contribute a fix that.

The fix (including test and doc changes) includes less than a 100 changed lines. I think it would be worthwhile considering to maintaining this out of tree patchset for Forgejo users. I am unfortunately not a JavaScipt / TypeScript programmer so I can't really take care of the code, but I would volunteer to test it.

Thank you & best regards
Julian

PS: When using Tailscale (as I am) to my knowledge it is not trivially possible to host Forgejo under a subdomain, so subpaths are kind of necessary in that case.

Hi! It seems that your issue is not specific to Codeberg's hosted service of Forgejo Actions. It does not apply to Codeberg since we are not hosted on a subpath. You probably want to discuss this with the maintainers of Forgejo Actions itself. Please correct me if I'm understanding your request wrong.

I suppose that opening a discussion in https://codeberg.org/forgejo/discussions/issues/ would be more helpful.
