Description
checkout fails checking out refs/pull/<PR_ID>/merge
Run actions/checkout@v4.2.2
with:
ref: refs/pull/<PR_ID>/merge
added workflow demonstrating the checkout failure - #1981
issue reproduces:
- create a PR
- checkout PR merge branch
refs/pull/<PR_ID>/merge- ✅ successfully - close PR, reopen PR
- checkout PR merge branch
refs/pull/<PR_ID>/merge- ⛔ FAIL
started writing this workflow only after trying v4.2.1,
expected https://github.com/actions/checkout/pull/1924 to fix the regression,
however, regression still here

Research direction
Start with the workflow added in issue #1981 and reproduce the sequence using actions/checkout@v4.2.2: create a PR, check out refs/pull/<PR_ID>/merge, close and reopen the PR, then retry. Compare the behavior with the reported regression in issue #1782 and pull request #1924; done means the merge ref can be checked out after reopening the PR.
