chore(release): avoid checkout in create-release-branch#3878
Conversation
This change refactors the create-release-branch subcommand to push the commit SHA directly to the remote branch reference, avoiding checking out the branch locally and changing the working directory state. Tests are updated to match.

Code Review
This pull request simplifies the release branch creation process in create_release_branch.py by pushing the target commit directly to the remote branch using a refspec (commit_sha:refs/heads/branch_name), rather than performing local checkouts and merges. The corresponding unit tests in release_test.py have been updated to assert this new behavior. There are no review comments, so I have no feedback to provide.
