 ## Alternative solution A (used for Java SDK `8.x.x` branch)
 
+This does not show the full history on each file. The history only works on the full repo. Please try another method.

 - Create a PR for merging `main` into `8.x.x`
 - Once that PR is merged into `8.x.x` there will still be conflicts shown in the PR for merging `8.x.x` back to `main`
 - Do another merge of `main` into `8.x.x` where you accept all changes on the `8.x.x` branch and create an empty merge commit
