chore: unshallow clone used in readthedocs
Metadata
Current evaluation
Merged PR #706 (commit f0d238c7) changed Read the Docs to unshallow the repository, letting git describe reach the older 1.5.3 tag and fixing sporadic docs build failures.
Resolution: closed resolved
Reason: PR #706 was merged as commit f0d238c7. It changed the RTD clone to include full history so git describe could locate tag 1.5.3.

Issue body
The readthedocs build started sporadically failing; what I *think* is happening is that the latest tag (1.5.3) is far enough from the HEAD of main (over 50 commits) that the previous command of fetching the tags was no longer sufficient to have "git describe" be able to reach the tag.
