Description

Currently we pass an input restore-upstream to rhobs/syncbot/.github/workflows/merge-flow.yaml@main which helps the merge workflow to restore contents on conflict. This is not scalable as it keeps changing between latest merges. It would be better to find automatically upstream only files and restore on conflict.

Research direction

Start with .github/workflows/merge-flow.yaml@main and trace how the restore-upstream input is used during conflict handling. Identify how the workflow could distinguish files changed only upstream from files modified downstream. Done means upstream-only files are restored automatically without changing a merge-specific input.
