Branch scanning fails when PR refer to a deleted fork

XMLWordPrintable

      Hi!

      I noticed that, when scanning a repository, when the source fork of a pull request have been deleted the scan fails:

      Checking pull request #5146

      Could it be possible to skip those pull requests ? The best would be to be able to build a temporary branch and apply the patch provided by github but any workaround would be appreciated
