Sorry, I was unclear in my suggestion at https://github.com/git/git/pull/2278#issuecomment-4302349600: I did not mean to just throw out a diverging patch. What I meant was to analyze what the differences are, and to work toward a combined, improved contribution that is better than either of the original ones.

Lucky for me, it is easy to compare the contributions via: https://github.com/dscho/git/compare/dependabot-updates..gruenich:git:feature/update-github-actions

This diff shows that I had missed an update of the `mshick/add-pr-comment` Action from v2 to v3. Or, more correctly, Dependabot had not yet reported this in `git-for-windows/git`...

I will add a patch to my patch series, crediting you with the find.

Ciao, Johannes
