Errors updating a universe

[wlandau-lilly]

I noticed new errors updating universe packages in https://github.com/r-universe/r-multiverse/actions/runs/12140701905/job/33851070879. For a newly added package jagstargets, I see:

Adding new package 'jagstargets' from: https://github.com/ropensci/jagstargets
Cloning into '/tmp/RtmpjAioJk/r-multiverse-universe/jagstargets'... 
fatal: 'origin/*release' is not a commit and a branch '*release' cannot be created from it 
fatal: unable to checkout submodule 'jagstargets' 
ERROR git submodule:  'origin/*release' is not a commit and a branch '*release' cannot be created from it 

And for a new version of multiverse.internals, I see:

Updating release version: multiverse.internals 0.3.0

Looking up https credentials for https://github.com/r-universe/r-multiverse

Is there anything R-multiverse is doing wrong in https://github.com/r-multiverse/community/blob/main/packages.json?

That looks like a bug, I'll look into it.

I tried to improve the error reporting in the sync workflow recently, but I introduced a bug. I think it is fixed now but please do let me know if you see more of this.
