Get branch commits in a Github action

Given a Github Action for a pull request, I would like to get the list of all the commits in that PR / branch. I can do git log master.. but it fails in the Action:

steps: 
  - uses: actions/checkout@v2
    with:
      ref: ${{ github.event.pull_request.head.sha }}
      fetch-depth: 0
  - run: git log ${{ github.event.pull_request.base.ref }}..

fatal: bad revision 'master'

Any hint why that fails?

This action misses a git fetch. The other branches can then be accessed with the origin/ prefix.

steps: 
  - uses: actions/checkout@v2
    with:
      ref: ${{ github.event.pull_request.head.sha }}
      fetch-depth: 0
  - run: git fetch
  - run: git log origin/${{ github.event.pull_request.base.ref }}..
