Historically, running
create_github_release --publish-releasewould always publish a new release from latestmain, which isn't always the best idea. We should really publish an alpha, let it bake, and then promote it.This PR introduces a new flag,
--promote-alpha, which does exactly that. It also works with--dry-run, so you can sanity check the commit it will use as the base commit for the new release before running it for real.
