+- The `fetch` input allows you to customize the `git fetch` command, or to prevent the action from fetching at all.

+## [9.0.1] - 2022-06-26

+### Changed:
+
+- **[BREAKING]** The action will now fail when the `git commit` command fails. (#370)
+- **[BREAKING]** The action won't try deleting and re-creting tags when it fails to push them, it's now up to you to set the proper arguments (see the `tag_push` input). (#367)

+### Added:
+
+- `tag_push` input: you can now set the arguments of the `git push --tags` command.
+- `tag_pushed` output: whether the action pushed tags.
+
+## [8.0.2] - 2022-02-07

+- Fixed README and CHANGELOG docs for the `pull` input, that were still showing the option to use `NO-PULL` to prevent pulling (while now it's the default behavior). (#354)
+- Added a paragraph to the FAQs section of the README, that explains how to work with PRs in v8. (#351)

 ## FAQs
 
+### Working with PRs
+
+By default, when you use `actions/checkout` on a PR, it will checkout the head commit in a detached head state.
+If you want to make some changes, you have to checkout the branch the PR is coming from in the head repo.  
+You can set it up like this:
+
+```yaml
+- uses: actions/checkout@v2
+  with:
+    repository: ${{ github.event.pull_request.head.repo.full_name }}
+    ref: ${{ github.event.pull_request.head.ref }}
+```
+
+You can find the full docs for payloads of `pull_request` events [here](https://docs.github.com/en/developers/webhooks-and-events/webhooks/webhook-events-and-payloads#webhook-payload-example-32).
+
+If you're planning on running this only on "internal" PRs (where head and base are in the same repo) then you can omit the `repository` input.  
+If you're planning to use this with PRs coming from other forks, please keep in mind that you might not have write access to those repos.
+You can try setting up the repo with your PAT, as explained in the ["About tokens" paragraph](#about-tokens) of this section.
+
+Keep in mind that this "custom checkout" is meant only for PRs: if your workflow runs on multiple events (like `push` or `workflow_dispatch`), you could try having this step run only for `pull_request` events, while other ones will trigger the usual checkout.  
+If you wish to do so, you can use the `step.if` property, [here](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions#jobsjob_idstepsif)'s the docs.
+
 ### About tokens
 
 When pushing, the action uses the token that the local git repository has been configured with: that means that if you want to change it you'll need to do it in the steps that run before this action. For example: if you set up your repo with [`actions/checkout`](https://github.com/actions/checkout/) then you have to add the token there.  
@@ -168,6 +205,14 @@ Some users reported that they were getting an error:
 
 If you're getting this error and you're using `actions/checkout@v1`, try upgrading to `actions/checkout@v2`. If you're still having problems after upgrading, feel free to open an issue. Issue ref: [#146](https://github.com/EndBug/add-and-commit/issues/146)
 
+### Performance on large repos
+
+By default, the action will fetch the repository before starting to work on it: this ensures that it can see the already existing refs.  
+
+When working with a repository that has a lot of branches and tags, fetching it can take a long time. If the fetch step is taking too much time, you can decide to skip it by setting the `fetch` input to `false`: this will prevent the action from running `git fetch` altogether. 
+
+Please note that you have to set up your workflow accordingly: not fetching the repo can impact branch and tag creation within the action, and for this reason it's recommended to disable it only if necessary. Issue ref: [#386](https://github.com/EndBug/add-and-commit/issues/386)
