  • Yes (provide example URL)
  • No
  • Not relevant

When a Pull Request was merged, the API endpoint GET /api/v1/repo/<org>/<user>/pulls/<number> returns null as soon as the branch is deleted (see [1]), while the web interface still lists all information about the PR (see [2]). Recreating the branch fixes the issue. The list of all pull-requests shows the same error (see [3]).

This was already reported in #4595, but the issue was closed because there was no activity.

Examples on try.gitea.io:

• [1] faulty pull with missing branch
• [2] faulty pull in web interface
• [3] list of pulls
