Base parameter causes extremely slow checkout of our monorepo about create-pull-request HOT 2 CLOSED

Hi @webmonarch

You shouldn't need to use the base parameter unless the action can't work it out. The action defaults the base to the branch currently checked out. For some use cases, like being checked out on commit, it's necessary to let the action know what branch it should base the PR on. Unfortunately, using the base input causes another fetch, but it's unavoidable for those use cases.

If you show me your workflow I might be able to see if you can avoid using the base input.

@peter-evans in general, I shouldn't need to use the base parameter, but while in development, I am trying to create a PR against develop while my gh action is running on a feature/branch.
