Often changelogs are generated from the patch branch and then cherry-picked into the `CHANGELOG.md` file in `master` for better access and readability. This is problematic though as `conventional-changelog` (the tool we use for generating the changelog), will duplicate commits when a future changelog is generated from `master` then (i.e. for a new minor release). This happens because conventional-changelog always generates the changelog from the latest tag in a given branch to `HEAD`. The tag in the patch branch does not correspond to any SHA in `master` so the intersection of commits is not automatically omitted. We work around this naively (until we have a better tool provided by dev-infra), by deduping commits that are already part of the changelog. This has proven to work as expected in the components repo. PR Close #37956
feat(dev-infra): merge script should link to original commit when cherry-picking with API strategy (#37889)
