Title: Fix push_to_hub by not calling create_branch if PR branch
State: closed

Fix push_to_hub by not calling create_branch if PR branch (e.g. `refs/pr/1`).

Note that currently create_branch raises a 400 Bad Request error if the user passes a PR branch (e.g. `refs/pr/1`).

EDIT:
~~Fix push_to_hub by not calling create_branch if branch exists.~~

Note that currently create_branch raises a 403 Forbidden error even if all these conditions are met:
- exist_ok is passed
- the branch already exists
- the user does not have WRITE permission

Fix #7067.

cc @Wauplin maybe it's a `huggingface_hub` bug ?

EDIT: ah actually the issue is opened at https://github.com/huggingface/huggingface_hub/issues/2419

I think we need to make this fix anyway, ~~unless we pin the lower version of huggingface-hub (once they release the patch)~~.
- Calling create_branch with a PR ref raises an error

> I think this should be something to fix in datasets directly. Having a 400 Bad request when trying to create the branch refs/pr/1 seems normal to me since it's not a branch.

does this mean we should use `create_pull_request()` in that case ?

> does this mean we should use create_pull_request() in that case ?

If user wants to push some data to a new PR, they can already pass `create_pr=True` which will automatically do the job for you (without using `revision`). If user is passing `revision="refs/pr/1"` explicitly, you should assume the PR already exists.

ah yes we do pass create_pr in `preupload_lfs_files()` ! sounds good then
