# This action periodically merges base branches into staging branches.
# This is done to
#  * prevent conflicts or rather resolve them early
#  * make all potential breakage happen on the staging branch
#  * and make sure that all major rebuilds happen before the staging
#    branch get’s merged back into its base branch.
