There aren't any updates to reference 1.76.0 in this commit. See 28f1425 for an example. Because this is messed up, the tag will also be messed up; so you'll want to git tag -d v1.76.0 and re-create the tag. Since Kannan is OOO to walk you through it, the easiest thing is probably delete the local branch and start over (git checkout master; git branch -D release-v1.76.0) on step 3. In step 5 when you push the branch you'll need to use --force because the branch already exists (git push --force -u origin release-v$MAJOR.$MINOR.$PATCH). Pushing at that point will update this PR; you don't need to close this PR or create a new PR.

Deleting the branch in my fork, will redo from scratch...
