Placeholder title when creating a PR does not behave like GitHub website

[mcaballeropinto]

Issue Type: Bug

Repro steps:

1. Create a branch
2. Commit once
3. Push branch
4. Create a new pull request using the VS Code extension

Expected:

• As there is only one commit, the first line of the commit becomes the placeholder of the PR title and the rest of lines are pasted in the description
• This is what happens if you create the PR in the GH website

Actual:

• The placeholder of the PR title is the branch name

I've been seeing this recently and I suspect it's due to #2846 (since that was the only change in the right timeframe).

@joshuaobrien any thoughts on what might have happened?

[joshuaobrien]

Thanks for the tag. I'll take a look @mtaran

[alexr00]

I'm not seeing this now. @mcaballeropinto does your repo have a PR template?

[mcaballeropinto]

Nop, it does not. This is issue is actually intermittent, I sometimes get the right title but others I get the branch name. I can't figure out how to repro it consistently.

[alexr00]

Closing for now. If I see it again I'll re-open.
