Description

GitHub lets you directly edit a PR, which will desync head and orig and result in a bad time. Add some capability for syncing these together.

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
  2. Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Start by tracing the ghstack command-line handling for GitHub pull requests and how it distinguishes head from orig. Define the synchronization behavior for PRs edited directly on GitHub, then verify that the two references remain consistent after the relevant workflow.
