Allow Editing Release-Please PR without Force Push

[jakeyheath]

Hi there,
We use release-please PRs to aggregate our CHANGELOG, but also as the branch that we deploy staging from. We have some Github Actions that only run on the release-please branch and it will update some of the files in the branch accordingly and run some tests. We've noticed this problem where these files that get updated will get reverted during a "force-push" when a new PR is merged with main. Instead of preserving these changes, the force-push reverts the state of the PR to the latest set of changes made to the CHNAGELOG and corresponding plugin files. Is there a way to configure this force-push behavior and instead configure a merge strategy so we can keep the changes that were already triggered by our actions?

Here is how we trigger release-please:

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - main
concurrency:
  group: ${{ github.workflow }}-${{ github.ref }}
  cancel-in-progress: true
name: release-please
jobs:
  release-please:
    steps:
      - name: Generate token
        id: generate_token
        uses: tibdex/github-app-token@v2
        with:
          app_id: ${{ secrets.APP_ID }}
          private_key: ${{ secrets.PK }}

      - name: release please
        uses: googleapis/release-please-action@v4
        id: release
        with:
          token: ${{ steps.generate_token.outputs.token }}

Here's our release-please-config.json
