I have the following bash history:

And it looks strange. I didn’t understand why DVC decided that “rf_sgm_v6.04” is ambiguous? And why using full ref as CLI suggested didn’t help?

You can try either of these:

dvc exp branch refs/exps/f6/0bc58f3f1ee9bbe7842f164d360270fc677032/rf_sgm_v6.03 (copy the exact ref from the output)

dvc exp branch 7e5d548 (copy the sha from dvc exp list -A)

Yes, I also decided to check this. But it’s still not working
