How do I discretize Line objects

Question

I have a polygon object that I wish to discretize.
e.g.
points0 = {{0, 0}, {1, 2}, {1, 0}, {0, 0}}
DiscretizeRegion[Line[points0]]

My goal is to increase the number of points between the edges using internal Mathematica functions. I have tried using Polygon, BoundaryDiscretize reigion and other functions but can't seem to get just the edge meshed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can specify the maximum cell measures using the option MaxCellMeasure:

DiscretizeRegion[Line[points0], MaxCellMeasure -> {"Length" -> .1}] (* or *)

DiscretizeRegion[Line[points0], MaxCellMeasure -> {1 -> .1}]

Use MaxCellMeasure -> {"Length" -> .5} to get

Given points0 we want to insert points so that the original interval between two point is split into n intervals:
n = 2;
points0 = {{0, 0}, {1, 2}, {1, 0}, {0, 0}};
tmp = Table[#[[1]] + i (#[[2]] - #[[1]])/n, {i, 0, n - 1}] & /@ 
  Partition[points0, 2, 1]
newpts=Append[Flatten[tmp, 1], points0[[-1]]]
