Fixes issue where git rev-list command fails with 'unknown revision' error when comparing rel/weekly..main. The checkout action with fetch-depth: 0 fetches all remote branches but doesn't create local tracking branches. Changed from 'rel/weekly' to 'origin/rel/weekly' to reference the remote branch that is actually available after checkout.
