> I'm assuming this always pulls HEAD from master to cut the release. Do we
need or desire any support for cutting a release from a non-HEAD commit?
I'd also completely support doing this as a follow-on, if you think that is
best @justinleet. It is certainly not necessary for this PR. And what you've
done has taken a manual process and automated it, which is great.
