Pushing new vN.x and vN.x-staging branches to the repository is rejected by the "Require linear history" ruleset, because branch creation evaluates the whole history and main still contains merge commits from 2015.
Refs: nodejs/Release#1187

Pushing new `vN.x` and `vN.x-staging` branches to the repository is
rejected by the "Require linear history" ruleset, because branch
creation evaluates the whole history and `main` still contains merge
commits from 2015. Document that a repository admin must disable the
rule, push the branches, and enable it again, as done for v26.x and
v27.x.
