Several (if not all) of my repositories are not receiving the Pull Requests anymore

For example: https://github.com/evandrocoan/UnitTesting is 10 commits behind the upstream, and there are not pull requests from Backstroke. Even backstroke is properly configured:

Recently the upstream has renamed from randy3k/UnitTesting to SublimeText/UnitTesting. Does it make a difference?

I also had clicked on the refresh button, but it keep spinning:

And accessing the ping URL https://api.backstroke.co/_59cdc241408205001... does nothing useful:

Should not accessing the ping URL https://api.backstroke.co/_59cdc241408205001... trigger the pull request creation?

Try updating that. The pull request that backstroke is making returns this error code (head is the repository/branch that the pull request should pull changes from):

{"message":"Validation Failed","errors":[{"resource":"PullRequest","field":"head","code":"invalid"}],"documentation_url":"https://developer.github.com/v3/pulls/#create-a-pull-request"}

Thanks, it worked!

Backstroke should have send me a email announcing this, otherwise there is not point into using backstorke if it will fails silently when the upstream repository is renamed/transferred to another user.

Good idea, but that's a pretty large feature. Backstroke has no infrastructure for that right now (and frankly, I don't have time to work on something like that right now). Always looking for contributions though.

It should definitely fail the link operation though if the head isn't valid in the pull request. Not sure why it doesn't do that currently.
