Using branch.<name>.description as PR title

[DamienCassou]

Would it be possible to use branch.<name>.description as title for a PR being created? This string could be automatically inserted into the forge-post buffer or it could be made accessible with a key binding.

I volunteer to implement that if you give me guidance on the kind of UX you would like.

Thank you very much. Unfortunately, I realize only now that descriptions are attached to local branches but PRs are made between remote branches only. I could try to guess the local branch name by extracting everything after the first /. What do you think?

(oref (forge-current-pullreq) head-ref) seems like the way to go. It won't be correct in 100%, but if your feature branches have the same name locally and on your remote, then that should work.

[DamienCassou]

If the PR doesn't exist yet, (forge-current-pullreq) always seems to return nil.

I've added forge-create-pullreq-insert-branch-description, intended to be added to forge-edit-post-hook.

Thank you!
