With Github migrating the repository's GraphQL global node ID to new format, branch protection rule resource cannot be created with node_id because the new format of node ID is no longer encoded by Base64.

Branch protection rule setup with repository name is still working correctly without being affected.

Terraform Version

0.14.11

Affected Resource(s)

• github_branch_protection

Terraform Configuration Files

resource "github_repository" "new_example_repo" {
  name        = "new-example-repo"
  description = "New Example Repo"
}

resource "github_branch_protection" "example" {
  repository_id = github_repository.new_example_repo.node_id

  pattern          = "main"
  enforce_admins   = true
  allows_deletions = true
}

Expected Behavior

Branch protection rule should be created in the new repository.

Actual Behavior

Error reported as following:

Error: Could not resolve to a Repository with the name 'owner/R_xxXXXXxxXx'.

  on main.tf line 7, in resource "github_branch_protection" "example":
   7: resource "github_branch_protection" "example" {

Steps to Reproduce
