I grabbed the following from one of the projects I've found on codeberg,
from an open pull request. The formatting didn't copy over, so I've
reformatted it a bit.  I assume if we have "autodetect manual merge"
turned on then we wouldn't get the warning listed next to merge.

x This pull request has changes conflicting with the target branch.
    * src/actions/repo/create.rs
