+#!/bin/bash

+# This script finds which Grafana releases include a specific commit.
+# It checks both release branches and tags to determine:
+# 1. Which release branches contain the commit
+# 2. The first release tag that included the commit
+# 3. Which release tags include the commit
+# 4. The first release that included the commit
+#
+# Usage: ./scripts/releasefinder.sh <commit-hash>
+# The commit hash can be either:
+# - Full hash (e.g., 1a2b3c4d5e6f7g8h9i0j1k2l3m4n5o6p7q8r9s0t)
+# - Short hash (e.g., 1a2b3c4d)
+#
+# Example: ./scripts/releasefinder.sh a1b2c3d4e5f6
+#
+# If you get a "Permission denied" error, make the script executable with:
+#   chmod +x scripts/releasefinder.sh
+
+# Check if script is executable
+if [ ! -x "$0" ]; then
+    echo "Error: This script is not executable."
