Subject: [PATCH 3/3] Add check to prevent releases from main branch
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The release script now checks if it's being run from the main branch
and exits with an error message if so. This ensures releases are always
done from a dedicated release branch.
