While a release is pending, we may merge anything into develop, **except for changes to package.json files**. If we
change the package.json files on develop, the gitflow PR master -> develop will have merge conflicts, because during the
release the package.json files are updated on master.

## What to do if there is a merge conflict?

Although gitflow should help us to avoid merge conflicts, as mentioned above in "Important Caveats" it can still happen
that you get a merge conflict when trying to merge master into develop after a successful release.

If this happen, you can resolve this as follows:

- Close the automated PR that was created by the gitflow automation
- Create a new branch on top of `master` (e.g. `manual-develop-sync`)
- Merge `develop` into this branch, with a merge commit (and fix any merge conflicts that come up)
- Now create a PR against `develop` from your branch (e.g. `manual-develop-sync`)
- Merge this PR with a merge commit
