Hi, I just wanted to check if this PR is ready to be committed.

[desrosj]

It looks like there are no changes in this PR currently. Based on the commit history, it seems that 65ab018 (r63167) was meant to resolve this. However, the changes made to the workflow files in in that commit do not appear to be the ones that were originally staged in this PR (see a8db49c), and are incorrect.

Remote references (@trunk) should only be used for numbered branches. The workflow file changes in r63167 will need to be reverted as the local reference is preferred (this allows changes to these files within PRs to be tested without needing to make unnecessary changes to the files).

This is not the PR that was used for the post-branching changes; that was from #12959

[desrosj]

After discussing this further in Slack:

• This is no longer needed. It was in fact superseded by Post 7.1 branching changes #12959.
• The changes I noted above were not actually included in either PR.
• The process followed locally was "move to the branch, run the command, switch back to trunk, finish the rest of the process, then switch back to the branch.". So this likely reverted the file removals performed by grunt post-branching, but left the results of replace:workflow-references-local-to-remote, and resulted in those changes being included in the commit to trunk.

This part of the commit can be reverted, but this PR can be closed out.
