Auto-port 5.0: Support more branch freedom for auto-porting#16311
Conversation
Motivation: The automatic porting workflows are not strictly tied to the branch they're porting from - only the branch they're porting to. So we can allow them to run from any source branch, in principle, but let's focus on only the supported mainline branches. Modification: - Make the porting workflows be triggered by the other (non-target) mainline branches, rather than just one fixed branch. - Rename things to be more generic, so we call it auto-porting, rather than back- or forward-porting. Result: The auto-porting workflows now work from more source branches, e.g. we can now auto-port from 4.1 to 4.2, or even 5.0 to 4.1, provided the cherry-pick succeeds. (cherry picked from commit 578588f)
