Description

Take a look at - https://github.com/coder/coder/actions/runs/7611646446/job/20727993997 (and other release runs)

Publishing to winget failed because:

Submitting pull request for manifest...

Unable to create a reference to the forked repository. This can be caused when the forked repository is behind by too many commits. Sync your fork and try again.
Error: Process completed with exit code 1.

Steps to fix

This will reproduce for subsequent releases/runs until the fork used for submitting PR is kept in sync with upstream.

i.e., https://github.com/cdrci/winget-pkgs in this case

WingetCreate does attempt to sync the fork before making a PR, but that can fail if the fork is behind too many commits.

Suggest to make it as part of CI to sync the fork (through gh CLI?) before winget publish step to avoid this in the future
