`gh release create` works for some commit hashes but gets weird 404 for others

### Describe the bug

`gh release create` command works for some commit hashes but not for other. For the ones it doesn't work, it complains about getting 404 when accessing the `https://api.github.com/repos/<owner>/<repo>/releases` API endpoint..

### Steps to reproduce the behavior

Since I don't know what causes it to break for some commits but not for others, I can't replicate it from a fresh repository. You'll have to use one of my repositories.

1. Fork my repository https://github.com/idanarye/bevy-yoetz
2. `git clone` your fork and `cd` into the worktree.
3. Set the default repository for the workdir with `gh repo set-default `
4. Run the following command to create a release from commit `8ed44f70782e8cd733acd3d33812d4b771c1bd9b`:
    ```bash
    gh release create v0.1.0 --target a602187ebae72cc0e8101cc46fc116a51c9e9e39 --title foo --notes bar
    ```
5. Run the same command but with a different commit - `8ed44f70782e8cd733acd3d33812d4b771c1bd9b`:
    ```bash
    gh release create v0.1.0 --target 8ed44f70782e8cd733acd3d33812d4b771c1bd9b --title foo --notes bar 
    ```

### Expected vs actual behavior

I expected the first `gh release create` command to succeed and create a release. Instead it complained about getting 404 when trying to access https://api.github.com/repos/aeon-felis/test-with-bevy-yoetz/releases - a URL that I'm able to access myself and that it was able to access just fine when I tried with a different commit.

### Logs

Paste the activity from your command line. Redact if needed.
