Segfault when listing remote branches

[Zerpet]

Describe the bug

I tried to list the remote branches in one of my remotes and lazygit crashed with a panic. The stacktrace is below.

For context, I have 2 remotes, one points to a public repo in github.com, let's call it "oss"; the other remote points to an internal repo in GitHub Enterprise, let's call it "private".

The remote in "private" has to be updated from time to time from "oss" main branch. The default branch is tracking main in the "private" remote. My workflow consists on pulling the latest changes from "oss" main branch onto a local branch named oss_main, merge oss_main into main, then push main to "private". Since Lazygit already fetches the remotes, I checkout oss_main, visit the "remotes" tab, select the "oss" remote, find main and perform a regular merge (this saves some network since "pull" re-fetches the remote).

I got the segfault when I hit "enter" in the "remotes" tab, to list the remote branches. I don't remember if I tried to list the remote branches in "oss" or "private" 😔

To Reproduce

I can't reproduce the issue 🙁 What I was doing when the crash happened:

1. Go to "remotes" tab
2. Press "enter" to list the remote branches
3. See error

Expected behavior
Lazygit does not crash, and lists the remote branches.
