When importing a pull request from GitHub, the old and new branches may
no longer actually exist by those names, but we need to recreate the
merge request diff with the right source and target shas.

We use these `target_branch_sha` and `source_branch_sha` attributes to
force these to the intended values. But the reader methods were always
looking up to the target/source branch head instead of check if these
values was previously set.
