Option to create a merge commit instead of rebase

[TSMMark]

Thanks for this, it looks neat.

Personally for my team, I see the git push --force-with-lease requirement as potentially disastrous if people are not paying close attention.

IMO the main value of this AutoRebase GH action is to save time and mental overhead of keeping branches up to date. However, if we are simply replacing that overhead with a different & more dangerous overhead: requiring force push, and paying close attention to not do this destructively — to me, that entirely eliminates the value of this GH action.

Merge commits may be annoying to deal with but at least they are not modifying git history, requiring dangerous force pushes, etc. It seems like an easy compromise to make.

Would you accept a PR that adds the option to create a merge commit rather than rebase?

Thanks

Found this package, which is better suited for my needs. It creates merge commits so you don't have to rebase. https://github.com/tibdex/auto-update

I submitted a feature PR to support using an opt-in label inspired by autorebase:opt-in, used by this autorebase package. That PR can be found here: tibdex/auto-update/pull/23

Closing this as I won't be using it for now.

Thanks again!
