Cannot switch Version Control from a non-main branch to main branch when Nautobot 1.2b is running

When attempting to activate the main branch, a server error appears:

Here is a stack trace

I am able to replicate this in one of our internal demo environments, but not when I run Version Control on Nautobot 1.2b in my local dev environment.

To recreate:

• create a new branch
• that new branch will automatically become active - now try to activate the main branch (Version Control --> branches --> select the Activate button by the main branch)
• I can provide the specific internal environment url where I see this happening

I don't see this issue with a local development environment.
