UPSTREAM_BRANCH
is needed to tell the merge commit algorithm to find the merge on the right upstream branch. This is necessary to pick from non-master branches of kube.We now apply the merge commit (= the diff to its left parent), not single commits on the feature branch. The latter often fails because the branch point of the feature branch is often the wrong start of a commit range to apply. The merge commit instead is more stable. The old mode is available by setting
APPLY_PR_COMMITS=1
.
