I have a private github repository that depends on an open source github
repository. There's an open PR in the open source repo, and I'd like to `go
get` that change to test it locally in my private repo.
Normally, when I update the open source repository, I can just run `go get
github.com/MY_ORG/MY_OSS_REPO@<branch|revision>`. If I use the full SHA of
the most recent commit in the PR, this works fine.
But I can't get it to work for variations of `go get
github.com/ORG/REPO@{refs/,}pull/123{,/head}`, following the instructions
at https://help.github.com/articles/checking-out-pull-requests-locally/
and https://stackoverflow.com/q/6743514. I get the impression that there's
something special about the pull refs that you have to request them
directly, since they don't get pulled during a plain `git fetch` during
normal repository work.
I would prefer to use the direct PR ref, rather than the SHA. I can figure
out how to script retrieving the SHA from the PR number, so I have a valid
workaround, but I thought I'd ask here to see if maybe I missed some
obvious way to go get by PR number.
