Description
Checks if changelog.txt committed in the context of this workflow is different from the one in
trunk
and in the release branch. This makes it possible to re-run the workflow in order to re-try the upload of the plugin archive to the directory. Before, since attempting to create a commit without changes exits with an error, the upload step was being skipped (eg. this retried run)This would've allowed us to use the workflow in order to fix the failure we faced when releasing Gutenberg v11.3.0, where the SVN upload timed out; @youknowriad saved the day committing the plugin manually.
How has this been tested?
Tried these changes in a fork (SVN Upload fails there because I purposefully did not configure secrets.)
