I read this as the refresh being an entirely new GitHub PR.  Is that
right?  Normally I would expect the same PR to be used but the rebase
would cause a force-push of the branch which would update the PR with
the new commits but might lose comments.  It's that later part I'm
unsure about.  It would seem odd to me to open an entirely new PR due to
a rebase/update of commits to respond to review.
