The auto update of merge request target branches has caused some problems for me.

The process I've been using is that

• No merge request should target master/main and should target a release branch instead
• Release branch can be merged to master/main only through a merge request to prevent mistakes

Because of this "feature", which as far as I know cannot be disabled, several merge requests keep updating their target branches to master/main when it's not desired.

I'd like you to add a flag to disable the automatic updating of target branches. If there is a way to disable this, please add it to the documentation.
