post-release-mergeback.yml

# This workflow runs after a merge to any release branch of the action. It:
# 1. Tags the merge commit on the release branch that represents the new release with an `vN.x.y`
#    tag
# 2. Updates the `vN` tag to refer to this merge commit.
# 3. Iff vN == vLatest, merges any changes from the release back into the main branch.
#    Typically, this is two commits – one to update the version number and one to update dependencies.
