gh pr create --fill fails with confusing error: could not compute title or body defaults: fatal: ambiguous argument #5896
Description
Describe the bug
I got an error below when running gh pr create --label skip-changelog --fill from inside a github action.
It is quite weird because I got the impression that the same action worked fine previously so it might be a recent regression.
The effective error comes from git which is called by gh. I checked and the previous command was able to correctly push the code to the new branch, one that has the same nable as the local branch (release/v0.9.0).
Still, gh pr create failed ugly.
Steps to reproduce the behavior
gh version 2.13.0
git push origin "release/${RELEASE_NAME}"
gh pr create --label skip-changelog --fill
# ^ that one fails
Expected vs actual behavior
[release/v0.9.0 d4bff6f] Release v0.9.0
