Description
The Evergreen command line tool uses branch+"@{upstream}" to get the merge-base commit of the current commit and the latest commit of the associated branch. This technique is used by other scripts, including the burn_in_tests.py script in the mongodb/mongo repository. However, the invocation git merge-base <branch_name>@{upstream} HEAD fails to work in Evergreen because the environment that the git.get_project command creates doesn't include a branch named <branch_name> that tracks the project's configured branch.
One solution would be to run git branch <branch_name> origin/<branch_name> as part of these git commands. Another approach would be to use git clone --branch=<branch_name>.
