In a fork workflow the PR/MR is hosted by the base (upstream) repository, not the head (fork) repository that holds the branches.
retarget-pr/restack-pr (and their GitLab retarget-mr/restack-mr counterparts) now resolve the code hosting client against the base repository
inferred from the parent branch's tracking remote - exactly like create-pr already does - so they query the repository that actually hosts the PR
even when no machete.{github,gitlab}.base* config keys are set.
Resolution is best-effort: if the base repository cannot be determined unambiguously and no base* keys are set, it falls back to the head repository,
preserving the previous behavior.
…g keys are set
`_init_code_hosting_client` always resolved the code-hosting client from the head remote, so the PR/MR-reading and -modifying commands (`anno-prs`, `checkout-prs`, `retarget-pr`, `restack-pr`, `update-pr-descriptions` and their GitLab counterparts) ignored the `machete.{github,gitlab}.base*` config keys, which until now only affected `create-{pr,mr}`.
In a fork workflow (head = fork, base = upstream) those commands therefore queried the fork - where the PRs/MRs don't live - and found nothing.
The client is now created against the base repository whenever any `base*` key is set, while the returned head remote is kept for fetching/pushing branches; when no `base*` key is set the base repository resolves to the head one, so this is a no-op for the common non-fork case, and `create-{pr,mr}`'s stricter base resolution is left untouched.
Document that the base* config keys are what make the PR/MR-reading and -modifying commands (anno-prs, checkout-prs, retarget-pr, restack-pr, update-pr-descriptions and their MR counterparts) address a base repository that differs from the head one. Only create-pr/create-mr infers the base repository/target project from the base branch's tracking remote, so it can target a fork/upstream base even with no config; the other commands are initialized without a base branch to infer from and therefore need the keys.
…ergeRequests} git config keys When set, commands that list open PRs/MRs download only those authored by the current user (via GitHub GraphQL search / GitLab author_username filter) instead of every open PR/MR in the repository. This makes annotating and traversing one's own PRs feasible in repositories with hundreds or thousands of open PRs, at the cost of not discovering PRs opened by other users when traversing cross-author chains. The `--all` flag still downloads every open PR/MR regardless of the key, and `--by=<user>` downloads the given user's PRs/MRs directly (so it keeps working for any author even when the key is set).
