Do not assume all 40 char strings are SHA1s (#14624) (#14648)

Backport #14624

GetCommit() assumes that all 40 char strings are SHA1s. This leads to an
error if you try to do a PR on a branch which is 40 characters long.

This PR attempts the SHA first - and if it fails will switch to using rev-parse.

Fix #14470
