There are broken commits in the reflogs related to pull requests.
Resolution
Find a Bitbucket repository ID in the UI of Bitbucket by going to the repository and then settings. There you'll see a line that says "Location on disk" and a path similar to this: BITBUCKET_HOME/shared/data/repositories/1.
Use the following command in the repository directory to fix it.

git reflog expire --expire=never --expire-unreachable=never --rewrite --stale-fix -- stash-refs/pull-requests/36592/merge stash-refs/pull-requests/37256/mergeThis command should have only removed broken entries from the reflogs. You should get output similar to the following:
