Release Branches
If I create a Release Branch from UAT, I no longer need all the individual Feature branches.
Inspired by Gitflow and the current Gearset Expanded Branching Model.
Currently: The Expanded Branching Model will create a Feature Branch PR to main for every Feature branch that is merged to UAT branch.
Desired: When I create a Release branch from the UAT branch, then Gearset should close all the current Feature Branch PRs to Main Branch - if and only if the Feature branch was already merged to the UAT branch.
This is related to branch pattern matching because branch pattern matching could make this easier to implement. If any branches matching the release/* pattern are created from the uat branch, then close all PRs for any feature/* branches -> main branch that have already merged to uat branch.
