1 # This action periodically merges base branches into staging branches.
2 # This is done to
3 #  * prevent conflicts or rather resolve them early
4 #  * make all potential breakage happen on the staging branch
5 #  * and make sure that all major rebuilds happen before the staging
6 #    branch get’s merged back into its base branch.
