Description
It would be a very nice time-saver if there was an option like `--expand-version` which would expand major-only tags into the full-version that they are pointing.
So that it generates a comment like `# v6.1.1` rather than just copying the `# v6`.
In the context of "pinning" versions, I guess it makes a lot of sense.

Research direction
Start by tracing how pin-github-action parses version tags and handles command-line or action options. Verify how a major-only tag such as `v6` resolves to its full version, then check the existing output and test setup. Done means an opt-in `--expand-version` behavior produces a comment such as `# v6.1.1` while preserving the current behavior otherwise.
