scripts: release notes script fails with "'refs/pull/origin/47761' did not resolve to an object" #49952
Description
Describe the problem
I am trying to generate release notes for the 20.2.0-alpha.1 release (relevant docs issue: cockroachdb/docs#7426), and the release-notes.py script consistently fails with the error
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "scripts/release-notes.py", line 754, in <module>
analyze_pr(commit, pr)
File "scripts/release-notes.py", line 645, in analyze_pr
tip = name_to_object(repo, refname)
File "/Users/rloveland/Library/Python/3.7/lib/python/site-packages/git/repo/fun.py", line 146, in name_to_object
raise BadName(name)
gitdb.exc.BadName: Ref 'refs/pull/origin/47761' did not resolve to an object
I'm not sure why. I have checked, and there is a pull request with this ID: #47761
Unfortunately I'm pretty stuck and unable to work on the release notes for v20.2.0-alpha.1 until we can get this script working. Hopefully it's something simple!
Apologies if this is user error and I'm running it with the wrong SHAs or something. If so, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
To Reproduce
-
Fresh checkout of CockroachDB:
$ git clone https://github.com/cockroachdb/cockroach -
Edit the repo's local Git config file to add the line (under
[remote "origin"]):fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/pull/origin/* -
Fetch everything from the server with
$ git fetch origin -a. (Lots of things scroll by as it fetches info re: all the PRs)
(Aside: Running the command above causes the following warnings to be emitted at the end of its output, which may or may not be relevant here.)

Attempt to generate the CockroachDB release notes for v20.2.0-alpha.1 with the following command:
$ python3 scripts/release-notes.py --from=v20.2.0-alpha.00000000 --until=provisional_202006032224_v20.2.0-alpha.1 --one-line --hide-unambiguous-shas --hide-per-contributor-section > draft-release-notes.md -
This results in the backtrace listed at the top of this issue being printed in
draft-release-notes.md.
(Note: I also tried running the script using the SHAs directly, i.e., *python3 scripts/release-notes.py --from=8f8e54e --until=59b7964 --one-line --hide-unambiguous-shas --hide-per-contributor-section > draft-release-notes-01.md -- but got the same result.)
Expected behavior
I expected the script to generate the release notes for the SHAs given above.
Environment:
MacBook running macOS 10.15.4.
Python and git versions:
$ git --version
git version 2.26.2
$ python3 --version
