For some of my repos, when I try to gh merge I'm seeing, "Pull request is not in the correct state to enable auto-merge".
I'll use this repo as an example: djangocon/2021.djangocon.us#6
❯ gh --version
gh version 1.11.0 (2021-06-03)
https://github.com/cli/cli/releases/tag/v1.11.0Steps to reproduce the behavior
- Type this '...'
gh pr merge 6 --auto
- View the output '....'
