Upgrade checkout to v1.1.0 to better support scripting git.

Checkout will persist the git credential into the repository git config file.

If the token has write-access to the repository, workflow user can use

- run: |
     git commit -am "changes"
     git push

to push the change back to the repository without dealing with git authentication.

I'm very interested to know how this is implemented.

• What will be the default user.name and user.email set in git config? Will that vary depending on the event type?
• For most event types I'm guessing refs/heads/<branch> will be checked out. What will happen for on: pull_request workflows? In checkout@v1 it creates a merge commit. To avoid that commit being pushed I'm checking out github.head_ref which destroys the merge commit. After thinking about this a bit more I guess the behaviour won't change. I will still need to checkout github.head_ref instead of the merge commit.

Hey @peter-evans!

I'm very interested to know how this is implemented.

We are working on making this more transparent!

• What will be the default user.name and user.email set in git config? Will that vary depending on the event type?

There's an open feedback ticket here for that functionality, we'd love for you to chime in on what would help you build the best workflows.!

To clarify, this pr sets neither the email or name, in order to push you will need to set those using the appropriate git commands

• For most event types I'm guessing refs/heads/<branch> will be checked out. What will happen for on: pull_request workflows? In checkout@v1 it creates a merge commit.

We haven't made any changes to what is checked out, but it should be a little easier for you to checkout or fetch something you may need without doing extra work to auth!
