Checkout specific folder works only for Default branch

[VeerendraSheelvantTR]

checkout specific folder from different branch from a same repo does not work. In below code main is my default branch. But i am running the workflow on poc-5.7.7-vee branch and it fails when i try to checkout automationtests folder.

  - name: Checkout files
    uses: Bhacaz/checkout-files@v2
    with:
      files: automationtests
      branch: poc-5.7.7-vee

With my configuration

- name: Check out test directory
  uses: Bhacaz/checkout-files@v2
  with:
    files: tests
    branch: ${{ github.head_ref || github.ref_name }}

I get similar error as in #11
