[Bug]: Unpredictable agent behavior with git / github

[neubig]

Is there an existing issue for the same bug?

• I have checked the existing issues.

Describe the bug and reproduction steps

Currently, when using the app, the agent's behavior with respect to git branches and generating pull requests is unpredictable. For instance, I would expect something like this:

• The agent should continue working on the current branch unless asked (1) to create a new branch, or (2) to create a pull request.
• If the agent is working on improving an existing pull request, it should stick to updating that pull request, and should not create a new pull request.

However, currently because we are just relying on the LM's knowledge, it violates these rules sometimes, making the behavior unpredictable.

We have also gotten a comment from a user about this.
