actions/checkout v6 changed how credentials are persisted. Instead of writing GITHUB_TOKEN as an extraheader in .git/config, it now stores a pointer to a credential helper file in $RUNNER_TEMP. The Makefile's `git config --unset http.https://github.com/.extraheader` no longer clears the token, so the cross-repo push to rook.github.io was failing.
I have updated the checkout action to v6.0.2, set the persist-credentials field to false and removed the unset line from releases/Makefile.
