[Release] Improve post-11-bump-versions.sh to avoid possible stray commits to reaching main #36048
Description
Describe the enhancement requested
In the post-11-bump-versions.sh we push directly to main. I already created an issue in the past that I thought we could modify it to not push: #33931
For the 12.0.1 patch release I accidentally had some issues when executing the script due to the Debian package versions failing to be updated. It was successful when I used: BUMP_DEB_PACKAGE_NAMES=0
When it finally executed correctly it pushed a lot of testing commits I had done locally to understand what the issue was plus some stray commits from previous executions as seen here:
f08670b...e53db93
As seen on those commits I pushed a new commit reverting the bad ones.
In order to avoid this from happening in the future we could:
- Validate when executing the script that local history does not differ from upstream. There are no stray commits.
- Do not push directly but show the command and prompt to push, asking the user to validate history before pushing.
