      Issue Summary

      Sometimes merging a pull request from a fork inadvertently changes the main branch of the upstream repository to the destination branch of the pull request.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create a repository
      2. For the repository
      3. Change the main branch of the upstream repository
      4. From the fork, merge a pull request to the original main branch of the upstream repository
      5. The main branch of the upstream repository will now be the destination branch of the pull request merged

      Expected Results

      It's expected no changes in the main branch of the upstream repo after the pull request merge.

      Actual Results

      The main branch of the upstream repository will be changed to the destination branch of the pull request merged.

      Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available
