release_branches script modifications #8626
Description
Issue Description
As a developer I would like to be able to create a release.
The Release_branches job advises that remote=true is suitable for a "normal release". However, that resulted in:
20:42:10 [2025-01-14 20:42:09,974][WARNING][branches.py:create:154]: Submodule 'support/adsDriver/master' in repo 'https://github.com/ISISComputingGroup/EPICS.git' has new commits.

when trying to build release 25.02.0.
Either fix this error so that we can use remote=true, or advise that remote=false should be used for normal releases
It didn't trigger an ibex_gui_release_pipeline and scriptgenerator_pipeline build automatically
