Description

My repository is hosted in Bitbucket and it seems that I can't use git pr to clone a pull request. I think the problem is that git pr try to look at refs/pull/289/head while it should be refs/pull-requests/289/head.

Even though I paste the url git pr https://bitbucket.com/project/project/pull-requests/289 -v, it doesn't understand.

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 at the git pr command entry point and inspect how pull-request URLs are parsed and how refs are constructed. Reproduce the Bitbucket example from the issue, then verify that cloning pull request 289 works with Bitbucket's refs/pull-requests/289/head format.
