Description
[email protected] fails to get the ref during on: push: trigger (on: pull_request: works as expected). It then falls back to downloading cloning the entire repo (slow).
#1 [internal] load git source https://github.com/OWNER_NAME/REPO_NAME.git#SHA
#1 0.033 Initialized empty Git repository in /var/lib/buildkit/runc-overlayfs/snapshots/snapshots/1/fs/
#1 0.051 fatal: Not a valid object name SHA^{commit}
#1 331.5 From https://github.com/OWNER_NAME/REPO_NAME
#1 331.5 * [new branch] BRANCH1
#1 331.5 * [new branch] BRANCH2
...
Succinctly, [email protected] succeeds with refs of the form https://github.com/OWNER_NAME/REPO_NAME.git#refs/pull/PULL_NUMBER/merge and fails (with fallback to full clone) with the form https://github.com/OWNER_NAME/REPO_NAME.git#SHA
Expected behaviour
Only the ref w/ depth=1 is fetched (fast) as with on: pull_request: triggers.
Actual behaviour
The whole repo is cloned (slow). In my case it takes 8m instead of 1m

Additional info
https://github.com/docker/build-push-action/issues/638 is somewhat similar, in that the initial error log line is identical fatal: Not a valid object name
More discussion here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/72049008/docker-build-push-action-not-a-valid-object-name-outputs-all-branches-and-tag
Can confirm that this is still a problem. Switching to file context is a workaround that removes this error.
@aderk Sorry for the delay, do you have a link to your repo? Are you using submodules?
#1 0.051 fatal: Not a valid object name SHA^{commit}
Also this message should not fail your build and still fetch correctly per https://github.com/moby/buildkit/issues/2888.
