Subject: [PATCH] Commit any conflicts during v1 backport to simplify release
 process

The process of creating the v1 release can run into merge conflicts. We
commit the unresolved conflicts so a maintainer can easily resolve them
(vs erroring and requiring maintainers to reconstruct the release
manually).
