Another fix for publish rc

[wemeetagain]

Motivation

#4096 added a bash script which broke in CI. The script checks the that the commit at the rc tag is an ancestor of the head of the rc branch. But the command to get the head commit of the rc branch erroneously assumed that the branch had already been checked out. Which is not the case in CI.

Description
Update the script to check against the remote's rc branch, which should always exist in CI.
