deleting branch after squashing PR not working anymore since vscode 1.98.0

[jorenham]

After squashing a PR in numpy/numtype via the web interface, then refreshing in VSCode, I press the "delete branch" button, and see the following logs:

2025-03-07 14:54:29.773 [error] [GitHubRepository+0] Unable to compare commits between numpy:main and numpy:faster-pyright: HttpError: Not Found

This is happening since I upgraded VSCode to 1.98.0. I tried both the release- and pre-release versions of the extension.

• Extension version: 0.107.2025030604
• VSCode Version: 1.98.0
• OS: Ubuntu 22.04 (PopOS)
• Repository Clone Configuration (single repository/fork of an upstream repository):
• Github Product (Github.com/Github Enterprise version x.x.x):

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Squash (or merge) a PR in numpy/numtype in the browser
2. refresh the PR in VSCode
3. attempt to delete the branch in VSCode

@jorenham Do you still see this? I squash then delete on a regular basis and haven't seen this issue.

I believe it does, but to be sure, I'll try it right now with numpy/numtype#345.

after squashing through the github web interface:

after squashing, and hitting "refresh" in vscode:

so I pressed "Delete branch...":

I clicked on "Ok", but the branch still exists locally and is still checked out:

but the "Delete branch..." button is now disabled:

I squash then delete on a regular basis and haven't seen this issue.

Is it a personal repo or an organization repo (like in my case)?

[alexr00]

Organization repo. Like this repo or microsoft/vscode.

Hmm, then there must be something else that differs 🤔

[alexr00]

@jorenham, next time you see this, can you share the output from "Git"?

and again with python/typeshed#13777, while paying more attention to limit the logs to what's relevant:

Based on the screenshots, you don't have the PR branch currently checked out, but the logs say you do have it checked out? Do you have the PR branch currently checked out? When this happens, what is the output of git status?
