git branch --show-current returns combined-prs-working instead of combinded-prs

[torbjornvatn]

I tried using this extension to merge some dependabot pr's using the --dependabot flag.

But I have a workflow in my repo that uses the paths-filter action to figure out which subfolders has changed in the PR. That action does a git branch --show-current at some point and gets combined-prs-working back, and when it later tries to do git fetch --no-tags --depth=100 origin master combined-prs-working it fails with fatal: couldn't find remote ref combined-prs-working

When I check out the combinded-prs branch locally and try to run git branch --show-current I get combinded-prs (as expected).

So the question is, why does the current branch command run by the GHA return combinded-prs-working?

I have a vague suspicion that it's updateRef somehow since it's pointing the combinded-prs branch to the lateste commit of combinded-prs-working, and maybe some "branch reference" "leaks" over with the commit.

But why doesn't it act the same when I check locally in my checked out branch?
