Obviously the might be something odd about my release object; but that's hard to know what that might be,

EG, this occurs when visit the release with a browser from the repo and an clicking on 'Publish Release'

Maybe the cause is "target" doesn't exist.

gitea/services/release/release.go

Line 104 in 340aed3

commit, err := gitRepo.GetCommit(rel.Target)

Well, Ok so ow did the release object get into that state:The action which create it is:

        uses: akkuman/gitea-release-action@v1
        with:
            body: |-
                Some text.
            draft: true
            name: ${{ steps.version-number.outputs.VERSION }}
            files: |-
                dist/*.zip

Ahh It looking fro a tag 'main'; not a branch 'main'
